Marc Andreessen: "The three kinds of platforms you meet on the Internet" (2007, retrieved f... - 0 views

  • Ning within our platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building social networking applications; Salesforce within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building enterprise applications; Second Life within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easy building objects that live and interact within Second Life. EC2, at least for now, has no such ambitions, and is content to be more of a generic hosting environment.
  • Amazon's FPS -- Flexible Payments Service -- is itself a Level 3 Internet platform.
  • Akamai, coming from a completely different angle, is tackling a lot of the technical requirements of a Level 3 Internet platform in their "EdgeComputing" service -- which lets their customers upload Java code into Akamai's systems.

  • I think that kids coming out of college over the next several years are going to wonder why anyone ever built apps for anything other than "the cloud" -- the Internet -- and, ultimately, why they did so with anything other than the kinds of Level 3 platforms that we as an industry are going to build over the next several years -- just like they already wonder why anyone runs any software that you can't get to through a browser.

    "This post is my attempt to disentangle and examine the topic of "Internet platform" in detail. I will go at it by identifying three distinct approaches to providing an Internet platform, and project forward on where I think each of the three approaches will go. At best, I might be able to help make a new landscape clear. At worst, hopefully I can at least provide one framework for future discussion."

Google App Engine for Java: Part 2: Building the killer app - 1 views

    Java™ is
    in being able to imagine, build, and deploy professional-quality killer apps that
    scale — without breaking the bank or driving yourself insane. In this second
    part of his three-part introduction to Google App Engine for Java, Rick Hightower takes you beyond the ready-made examples of Part 1 with a step-by-step guide to writing and deploying a simple contact-management application using App Engine for Java.

Google App Engine for Java: Part 1: Rev it up! - 3 views

  • Remember when Google App Engine was just for Pythonistas? Those
    were some dark days. Google Inc. opened up its cloud-computing platform to
    Java™ developers in April 2009. In this three-part article series, Java technology author and
    trainer Rick Hightower gets you started with this reliable, robust, and fun platform
    for Java-based development. In this article, you'll get an overview of why Google App
    Engine for Java could
    be the deployment platform for your next highly scalable killer app, then start using the Google Plugin for Eclipse to build two example apps: one based on Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and one based on the Java Servlet API. You'll learn for yourself what a difference Google App
    Engine for Java makes, both in building out an application from scratch and in deploying it to the tune of up to five million views. (And that's just the free version.)
