is Google App engine designed in a way that makes offline development easy?

Its usually pretty simple to install mysql and php on a computer.
develop the app, then transfer.

I do not have internet.

Is there any way to develop for app engine?

Sounds really cool!!!

also what is the story on databases with google app engine??

Thats pretty cool you can run a website with a java program.. thats the idea right?

Yes you can develop off line.

I suggest you start by reading the docs, and the getting started section.

However if you really mean off line, then many of the libraries and tools you will probably need will need to be downloaded before you go off line.

As timh said, as long as you can download and install the App Engine SDK for your preferred language and platform (plus whatever tools &c you need, e.g mysql if that's what you desire), you can do the development itself, offline, locally. Eventually you will need to upload ("deploy") the resulting application for it to be served online, of course (just as you would for any app to be served online, of course).

There are several, but the two you can most easily develop for locally are the Datastore (a highly scalable NoSQL DB, which comes with App Engine -- a local emulator thereof is part of each App Engine SDK) and mysql (you can develop locally, offline, on a local mysql server; then when you deploy use Cloud SQL, which is mysql running online on Google's servers).
 

Thats pretty cool you can run a website with a java program.. thats the idea right?

Python, Java, Go, and PHP, are the four server-side languages that are currently fully supported on App Engine (in the order in which the support was launched over time).
