Is Python the new defacto standard of web programming?

After taking a look at Google App Engine, the first thing came to my mind is Python. To develop and take advantage of this hugely appreciated attempt of Google, the Google App Engine, I must know Python. Then I took sometime to see the reaction of the world. And as expected I found the answer to be true, that Python is going to rule the new Web.

While going through Aral’s blog, “Sounds simple? It is. This is game-changing!” I confirmed my thoughts, yeah its Python, which is going to be everywhere. Even according to this post, nicely described the new web, Python is the new Basic.

So all in all, a new era is around the corner for the web and web developer. I am always excited about new things in the right direction and for good, so for me its a very good and exciting news. Hello Python, welcome to your world and thanks Google for making and using web standards and innovations, the way it should.

AIRup your desktop application, Shu.

Ever thought of making a standalone application out of your already built AIR application? Shu is the answer.It simply takes an AIR application and packages it to a standalone application.Is not that amazing ? Once one completes the creations of AIR application on its favorite IDE may it be Flash, Flex, APTANA or whatever, the AIR application can easily be made a desktop application with Shu. Well, I think that also means, that whichever AIR runtime user is having or not not having my AIR application is bound to run.I have not tested it yet, so will comment about that once I do the test.

For me the question is how we look at AIR as a development platform? Is it going to completely wrap up the desktop applications? In the beginning I used to think so, I will never need to develop a desktop application, all I have to do is develop AIR applications.But products like Shu made me think twice.
