Had to try Google's App Engine, so here is my first project, imgal (imgal.zip). It's just a guestbook thingie with image upload capability (stored as blobs in the database).

App Engine uses Python Paste's WebOb to provide objects for HTTP requests and responses.

Some material on Google's BigTable

• Behind The Scenes of Google Scalability
• Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data (OSDI '06 paper)
• BigTable As A Web Service (via appspot.com -- does not accept more checkins currently).
