Introducing Google App Engine - All in One

Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure e.g. GFS and BigTable. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users... more docs. An alternative introduction is available on Wikipedia.

I compiled a list of videos that should get your engines up and running on this exciting web framework:
