Google App Engine is a web-hosting platform that enables developers to build highly scalable web applications that run on Google's infrastructure. The company has partnered with Twilio to offer a contest where participants can win $1000 in Google App Engine credit and a Dell mini Netbook by building a Twilio application that uses App Engine. The contest will be announced next week, and the winner will be awarded the prize. Participants can get inspiration from previous contest winners or visit the company's forums to ask for ideas. Additionally, the company has provided various resources, including API reference documentation, SDKs, helper libraries, quickstarts, and tutorials, as well as a resource center with latest ebooks, industry reports, and webinars.
