−What is  `Google AppEngine` ?
+
−------------------------------
+
−
+
−`Google AppEngine`_ is provided with a partial port of the `Django`
+
−framework, but Google stated at Google IO 2008 that it would not
+
−support a specific Python web framework and that all
+
−community-supported frameworks would be more than welcome [1]_. 
+
−
+
−Therefore `Logilab`_ ported `CubicWeb` to run on top of `Google AppEngine`'s
+
−datastore.

−Essentials
+
−----------
+
−
+
−To build a web application for `Google App Engine`'s datastore, you
+
−need to have a good understanding of the main concepts of our 
+
−`CubicWeb` framework.
+
−
+
−The main concepts are:
+
−
+
−  - *schema*
+
−
+
−  - *query language*
+
−
+
−  - *result set*
+
−
+
−  - *views*
+
−
+
−  - *generated user interface*
+
−
+
−  - *cube*
+
−
+
−You can find detailled explanation of those concepts in :ref:`TermsVocabulary`.
