    Steve, please know that I am forever grateful for your work in your excellent Udacity course. It began a path for me that recently led to me changing careers to become a full time programmer.

    Whatever people might say about webapp2 and App Engine, I think they were the right choice for the course. I had no problem moving on to other frameworks or moving away from App Engine, having gotten a solid understanding of the concepts from your course.

    Once again, you have my sincere thanks.
