Howdy.
The source code for Developing with Google App Engine is available on-line! You can check out the table of contents and download the sources from my main web site, or you can now download it from the BookmarksBin application itself. This screenshot shows what the links to the book and to the source code look like.
A couple of people commented that the user interface for the BookmarksBin sample application for the book is rather plain. That was a design and execution decision.
Writing a book is like any other project: you need to plan, execute, and make compromises along the way. The purpose of the book isn't to show how to build every aspect of a web application to the reader. I was aiming at showing how to use all the Google App Engine features that I could in as concise and complete a manner as possible. The UI doesn't have rounded corners, or snazzy special effects because those are separate topics from App Engine. Instead, I focused on showing how to use the Django templates, and how to set static, dynamic, and client-side scripting files so that someone interested in making a richer UI has the tools (and develops the know-how) to implement it using App Engine features.
I'm now working on a new, expanded book about App Engine development that covers client-side integration and development in more detail, including a couple of sections on things like jQuery. Please let me know your suggestions about what kinds of client-side browser features you'd like to see covered in relation to App Engine application development.
Cheers!
