Its actually pretty simple. As with all Google Products if you have a Gmail ID you already have access to a Google App Engine. You can use your Gmail ID and password to access the the App Engine Account. Makes it really simple doesn't it. Many folks underestimate the impact of the universal access the Gmail ID provides to so many services and products. If you are like me you hate to register at every different service provider and site that is there. This easily is one reason you should try out App Engine. You already have access to it.

Step 1. Go the url for App Engine: https://appengine.google.com/

Step 2. If you already have a Google Account and are signed in. You will see something like the screen above with your userid already populated. All you need to do is to type in your password and login.

Step 3. Login to the dashboard.

That's it. You are all set to get started with building your first Google App Engine App.
