                    URL Shortner is a simple web application. It takes a large URL and provides a fixed length short URL. The front end is implemented using HTML. it contains a text box for accepting the URL and a submit button.

                    A web application needs a server,that manages the requests and store data. Here google-appengine serves  as server. The server side is implemented using python. Server side mainly contains 'get' and 'post' methods. In the first handler get method uses for rendering the HTML page. Post method uses for accepting the URL,process and store the data to the database. Data store acts the role of database. Second handler contains another get method which uses for redirecting the page.
