Find sample code and more for Google Cloud Platform, now on GitHub
January 22, 2013
Today's post introduces the
Google Cloud Platform
organization on GitHub, which includes samples and tools for App Engine developers.
You can now find Google Cloud Platform on
GitHub
! The GitHub organization for Google Cloud Platform is your destination for samples and tools relating to
App Engine
,
BigQuery
,
Compute Engine
,
Cloud SQL,
and
Cloud Storage
. Most existing open source tools will be migrated to the organization over time. You can quickly get your app running by forking any of our repositories and diving into the code.
Currently, the GitHub organization for Google Cloud Platform has 36 public repositories, some of which are currently undergoing their initial code reviews, which you can follow on the repo. The Google Cloud Platform Developer Relations Team will be using GitHub to maintain our starter projects, which show how to get started with our APIs using different stacks. We will continue to add repositories that illustrate solutions, such as the classic
guest book app
on Google App Engine. For good measure, you will also see some tools that will make your life easier, such as an
OAuth 2.0 helper
.
From
getting started with Python
on Google Cloud Storage to
monitoring your Google Compute Engine instances with App Engine
, our GitHub organization is home to it all.
Trick of the trade: to find samples relating to a specific platform, try filtering on the name in the “Find a Repository” text field.
We set up this organization not only to give you an easy way to find and follow our samples, but also to give you a way to get involved and start hacking alongside. We’ll be monitoring our repositories for any reported issues as well as for
pull requests
. If you’re interested in seeing what a
code review
looks like for Google’s open source code, you can follow along with the discussion happening right on the commits.
Let us know your
suggestions for samples
. We look forward to seeing what you create!

Calling all coders: Hardcode, the secure coding contest for App Engine
January 16, 2013
Originally posted on the
Google Online Security Blog
Protecting user security and privacy is a huge responsibility, and software security is a big part of it. Learning about new ways to break applications is important, but learning preventative skills to use when building software, like secure design and coding practices, is just as critical. To help promote secure development habits, Google is once again partnering with the organizers of
SyScan
to host Hardcode, a secure coding contest on the
Google App Engine
platform.
Participation will be open to teams of up to 5 full-time students (undergraduate or high school). Contestants will be asked to develop open source applications that meet a set of functional and security requirements. The contest will consist of two rounds: a qualifying round over the Internet, with broad participation from any team of students, and a final round, to be held during SyScan on April 23-25 in Singapore.
During the qualifying round, teams will be tasked with building an application and describing its security design.
A panel of judges will assess all submitted applications and select the top five to compete in the final round.
At SyScan, the five finalist teams will be asked to develop a set of additional features and fix any security flaws identified in their qualifying submission. After two more days of hacking, a panel of judges will rank the projects and select a grand prize winning team that will receive $20,000 Singapore dollars. The 2nd-5th place finalist teams will receive $15,000, $10,000, $5,000, and $5,000 Singapore dollars, respectively.
Hardcode begins on Friday, January 18th. Full contest details will be be announced via our mailing list
, so subscribe
there
for more information!
