I'm working on a practical work for college, and I have to develop a web-app that could be used by all the teachers from my province.

The application should let the users (teachers) manage some information related to their daily duties. One of the requirements is that I must use Google App Engine platform for developing and hosting the web application.

I have 2 months to finish the work.

I have some intermediate knowledge of C++, so what language (Python or Java ) and web framework do you think would the best to develop the application in less time?

I know this is not a strictly programming questions, but please don't delete this post at least until I get a few answer in order to have an idea of how to proceed.

Many thanks in advance!

I would recommend using Python + Django framework. I love Java, but for the Google App Engine there is much more documentation online for Python.

I would recommend taking a look at Java + slim3. I have my own MVC framework for AppEngine (PhD thesis work), and I really wish I had started after slim3 came out. I'd be using it myself. I can't really speak vs using Python on AppEngine, but I don't think I'd recommend any other Java framework vs slim3. I've tried a few. As an example, I use Struts2 at work. I would not recommend Struts2 given your timeframe -- the learning curve would make your deadline ambitious. Part of this is just due to the fact that Struts2 isn't quite a full stack (saving data in AppEngine is a big deal when you are first learning), which makes only some documentation useful for your particular project. Slim3 sidesteps this by being explicitly targeted to AppEngine.

Go with python and default webapp framework . As you are new to both java and python. Appengine on python has been there for sometime, you will find lots of solution on python as it was introduced earlier. Learning curve is very small in python when compared to java according to me. Also go for eclipse with pydev plugin as your IDE. This will make your deployment and development much easier . Google 's own documentation is the best place to start.

All you need to do is spend some time reading the whole documentation patiently . Even i started with appengine very recently.
