2.1. App Engine Quickstart

INTRODUCTION

This tutorial shows you how to deploy a sample PHP application to Google App Engine using the gcloudcommand.

Here are the steps you will be taking.

Build and run your "Hello World" app
You will learn how to run your app using Google Cloud Shell directly in your browser. At the end you'll deploy your app to the Web using the gcloud command.
After the app...
Your app will be real and you'll be able to experiment with it after you deploy, or you can remove it and start afresh.

2.2. App Engine Quickstart

Google Cloud Platform organises resources into projects. This allows you to collect all the related resources for a single application in one place.

Click Continue or click “Select a different project” to create a new project.

Wait.

2.3. VIEW SAMPLE CODE

We have the sample PHP code prepared for you in the Google Cloud Repository. To view your cloned code, open the menu on the left -hand side of the console and select Development.

2.4. CONFIGURING YOUR DEPLOYMENT

YAML files
You are now looking at the Hello World folder of the cloned code. Google App Engine uses YAML files to specify a deployment's configuration. The app.yaml file configures the deployment environment.
Open the app.yaml file by left-clicking it.

app.yaml files contain information about your application, including the runtime environment, URL handlers and more.

2.5. USING GOOGLE CLOUD SHELL

Cloud Shell is a built-in command line tool for the console. We're going to use Cloud Shell to deploy our app.

Using Google Cloud Shell
Open Cloud Shell by clicking
from the navigation bar at the top.

Cloud Shell is a built-in command line tool for the console. We're going to use Cloud Shell to deploy our app.

gcloud app create

gcloud app deploy

gcloud app browse

How to register for Gmail

Introduction

Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service provided by Google.[3] Users may access Gmail as secure webmail,[4] as well as via POP3 or IMAP4 protocols.[5][6] Gmail was launched as an invitation-only beta release on April 1, 2004[7] and it became available to the general public on February 7, 2007, though still in beta status at that time.[8] The service was upgraded from beta status on July 7, 2009, along with the rest of the Google Apps suite.[9][10]
With an initial storage capacity offer of 1 GB per user, Gmail significantly increased the webmail standard for free storage from the 2 to 4 MB its competitors such as Hotmail offered at that time.[11] Individual Gmail messages, including attachments, may be up to 25 MB,[12] which is larger than many other mail services support. Gmail has a search-oriented interface and a "conversation view" similar to an Internet forum. Gmail is noted by web developers for its pioneering use of Ajax.[13] Gmail runs on Google GFE/2.0 on Linux.[14][15][16] As of June 2012, it is the most widely used web-based email provider with over 425 million active users worldwide.[2][17]

1. Go to http://mail.google.com .

2.Look at top right corner. Notice the red button with the label "CREATE AN ACCOUNT". Click the button.

3. Fill-in the form

3.1) Fill-in your first name and last name.

3.2) Choose your username. This can be quite tricky as usernames must be unique and you cannot choose a username that have been registered by others. Take your time to choose a name that you like. Combine the username with numbers (make sure the number combination is easy for you to memorize!) to make it unique.
