4.2 Using templates

A template is a predesigned file you can use to quickly create new documents. Templates often include custom formatting and designs, so they can save you a lot of time and effort when starting a new project. Most templates are designed to help you create specific types of files. For instance, you could use a template to quickly create a resume or newsletter.

You can find a wide selection of templates on the Google Drive Template Gallery. Unfortunately, we've found that many of these templates aren't very well designed, and it's often difficult to find specific templates within the gallery. For this reason, we recommend using templates made by Google, which tend to be of higher quality than user-submitted templates.

To use an official Google template:

1. Navigate to Templates submitted by Google.

2. Several templates will appear. You can then browse templates by category or use the search bar to find something more specific.

3. When you've found a template you want to use, click Use this template. You can also click Preview to view it first.

4. A new file will be created with the selected template. You can then customize the file with your own information.

Practice №5 The study of functions Google App Engine

5.1 Google App Engine Docs

Google App Engine applications are easy to create, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs change. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain. You simply upload your application and it’s ready to go.

App Engine applications automatically scale based on incoming traffic. Load balancing, microservices, authorization, SQL and noSQL databases, memcache, traffic splitting, logging, search, versioning, roll out and roll backs, and security scanning are all supported natively and are highly customizable.

App Engine’s environments, the standard environment and the flexible environment, support a host of programming languages. The latest versions of Python 3.4, Java 8, and Node.js are available in the flexible environment, PHP is available in the standard environment only, and Go is available in both. The two environments give you maximum flexibility in how your application behaves because each environment has certain strengths. Read The App Engine Environments for more information.

Choose an environment, click on your favorite language, and get started.
