Deploying applications created using Zoho Creator on Google App Engine is an easy process that works as promised. However, while the process might be good for simple apps, it could be risky for mission-critical software targeted for Google App Engine. One thing to note is that although using Zoho Creator to build applications for Google App Engine may allow application developers to skip having to learn Python, it would benefit programmers to learn the language.It was bound to happen: As more and more Web technologies are released, some
will grow and mature, while some will disappear. And some will start to come
together.
Take the case of Zoho Creator and Google App Engine. For those of you who
haven't yet tried out Zoho Creator
(which has been out for about three years now and is up to Version 3.0), you're
missing out. I've been playing around with Zoho Creator for quite some time,
and what strikes me is the ease with which you can get a fully functional
online Web application up and running, without sacrificing power. If you want
quick-and-not-very-dirty, you can do it. But if you want to roll up your
sleeves and start to really customize your application (such as by writing your
own HTML and scripts), you can do that, too.
Zoho Creator is part of a bigger project, simply called Zoho, which was
released in 2005. Zoho is an entire online suite of office applications,
including (as of this writing) e-mail, word processing, spreadsheets,
presentations, notebooks, wiki, organizers and planners, chat software, project
management, invoicing, and even CRM.

However, while the company called AdventNet was busy creating Zoho, Google was
building its own online spreadsheet, and would later acquire a company that
created an online word processor. The end result is what we know today as
Google Docs.
