Hi,
I want to 'web-enable' my Maemo Apps. What I mean by that is to store some or most of the data on the web making the information accessible to others and also, given Qt's multiplatform deployability, allowing a user to share data between his various devices; think PC and mobile device.
At the moment, I am considering using the
Google App Engine
, and storing the data in their
Datastore
. To exchange data, I would use
REST
and I've found a download for GAE that seems to do the job,
app3
. It seems promising although it lacks the ability to create/update multiple records in one request. The code is open source, written in Python, so someone more skilled in Python might be able to figure out how to implement that better than me.
Finally, I would have to make a call from Qt where
this example
could be a good starting point.
Does anyone have any better solution to this?
Has anyone already used this from a Qt app (for N900) and is able/willing to share some experience/code?
Does someone want to implement the above suggestion? I'm happy to take the plunge, but it might take me some time before I get it right...
