Google App Engine : 1 : Install

Google App Engine has some really poor documentation, but I'm going to try to put a step by step guide together here for those interested in doing this on a Windows based machine.

1. Uninstall any JRE's you have on your computer.
• To do this, simply go to
  Start --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features
  and scroll down to any Java Runtime Environments you see and uninstall them.
• This will give you a nice fresh start.
2. Download and install the java SDK which includes the correct JRE's.
• Note: This must be version 6.x
• To do this open a web browser and go to:
  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jdk-6u32-oth-JPR 
• accept the user licence agreement
• click the link for either windows x86 or x64
• (you will have to sign up for an account to do this, including verifying your email)
• Once it's downloaded, open it and install it to the default location.
3. Download and install Eclipse
• This is a great development environment and it's free.
• Note: This must be version IDE for Java EE Developers 3.7.2
• To download open a web browser and go to (this is the x64 version)
  http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/indigo/SR2/eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip&url=http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/indigo/SR2/eclipse-jee-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip&mirror_id=272
• Once downloaded, open the zip and copy the "eclipse" folder to your "C:\program files\" directory 
4. Install Google Plugin for Eclipse
• Follow the instructions for this page for Eclipse 3.7 Indigo
  https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/eclipse
5. Do the example project
• located at:
  https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/eclipse
  under the heading "Creating a Project"

MVC - 3 : The Execution

The Execution

We've already covered some of the nuances in the Concepts section above, but there are many more. Let's briefly take a look at three, data propagation, identity maintenance, and multi-model mvc.

MVC - 2 : The Concepts

The Concepts
The Idea behind MVC is to break apart any program into it's distinct parts the data (M:Model), the algorithms that work on the data (C:Controller) and what you see (V:View). The Concepts are the way that these three ideas are created.

MVC - 1 : The Idea

Otherwise known as Model View Controller. This is a very simple idea made from complex concepts that are executed with nuanced application.
