San Francisco - Appcelerator has updated its rich Internet application platform to integrate with the Google App Engine, Appcelerator said this week.

Applications built using Appcelerator can be deployed to the Google App Engine, which lets developers have their Web applications hosted on Google infrastructure.

The Appcelerator Platform is an open-source Web platform. It fuses rich Internet applications and SOA. Developers can assemble interactive Web applications without the need for JavaScript or player-based plug-ins, Appcelerator said. Web applications can be implemented using technologies such as Java/J2EE, PHP, Ruby, .Net, Python and Perl.

Appcelerator for App Engine runs on Python, the scripting language supported by App Engine, Appcelerator said. Appcelerator will expand support to other languages as Google does.

Google App Engine was introduced in a preview version on April 7.

Appcelerator is run by former JBoss officials?? and has JBoss founder Marc Fleury serving as an advisor.
