Blog in a Weekend using the Agile Method

June 15, 2010

Got a Weekend with nothing else to do but write some code ?

Let’s say you need a Blog and you want it to be AJAX powered, just for kicks, and you want to leverage the Google App Engine just cuz it’s FREE and you got a spare weekend to kill…

If you are like me, and you probably are, you would roll-up your sleeves and whip-up some code using the following Open Source coolness:

Google App Engine

Django 1.1 via the App Engine Patch

jQuery 1.4.2

jQuery UI 1.8.2

Google inspired parallel loading for JS and CSS files just cuz this is cool.

Flash integration support that allows for dynamic Flash replacements when there is no Flash Player.

and more to come…
