Monday, December 7, 2009

Translator Toolkitglossariestranslation memoriesGoogle Data Protocol

Automatically connect your content management system (CMS) with Translator Toolkit. You can transform your content into HTML files, protect sections of HTML from translation through the class="notranslate" attribute, upload the HTML files, share the files with your translators, download the translated HTML, and then transform and upload the documents back into your CMS.

Automatically connect your file system with Translator Toolkit. You can create a cron job that uploads files into Translator Toolkit, shares the files with your translators, then downloads completed files back to the file system.

Thursday, April 30, 2009

AJAX APIsAJAX APIs PlaygroundGoogle Data APIsYouTubeCalendarPicasa Web AlbumsAnalyticssessions

Redfin
Redfin is an online brokerage site for buying and selling homes. Redfin uses the Google Maps, Charts, and Feeds APIs. Redfin actively talks about the behind-the-scenes development decisions, which can be found at the Redfin Developer Blog. (For example, they blogged about why they switched to the Google Maps API) Sasha Aickin, Engineering Manager, will be speaking on a session called Performance Tips for Geo API Mashups.

Lonely Planet
Lonely Planet is known by travelers for producing informed and honest travel advice. Lonely Planet uses the Google Maps Javascript API to power interactive maps on lonelyplanet.com, the Google Static Maps API on its cross-device mobile site, m.lonelyplanet.com, and OpenSocial, App Engine, and Android in products soon to be launched. Ken Hoetmer, Lonely Planet's neogeographer in residence, will be speaking on a session called Maps APIs & Mobile.

Adobe
Introduced with Adobe Creative Suite 4, Adobe Community Help utilizes Google Custom Search (a product which also supports the AJAX APIs) to aggregate the most relevant help content from the broader community. By integrating search directly within the application workflow, users can find answers to their software questions no matter where those answers may be found. Currently, Adobe is exploring ways of expanding Custom Search to include code samples directly within Adobe development environments for products like Flash and Flex. (Read Adobe's blog post about Adobe Community Help)

LuckyCal
LuckyCal is a calendaring application which utilizes several of the Google Data APIs to create a dynamic calendar experience. They authenticate using OAuth to retrieve data from the Calendar and Contacts Data APIs. Based on where you'll be, who you know and what you like, LuckyCal finds events that are relevant to you. LuckyCal has also created a Google Gadget and uses the Maps API (both for UI and for Geocoding) extensively.

Eye.fi
The Eye-Fi Card stores photos & videos like a traditional memory card, and fits in most cameras. When you turn your camera on within range of a configured Wi-Fi network, it wirelessly transfers your photos & videos to either your computer or services like YouTube, Picasa Web Albums, etc via the YouTube and Picasa Web Albums Data APIs.

Vast Rank
Vast Rank is a college ranking website that utilizes the Google Maps API in their interactive ranking map (where visitors see rankings based on what is in view on the map). With the Client Location API, Vast Rank’s personalization engine can weigh the visitor’s location into the criteria used to suggest interesting colleges to the visitor. Vast Rank creator Jon Kragh will be leading a session, Using AJAX APIs to Navigate User-Generated Content.

280 North
280 North's application, 280 Slides, enables users to easily create web-based presentations. With the AJAX Search API and Google Data APIs, 280 Slides builds in the ability to search Google for images and YouTube for videos and drag media directly into a presentation. 280 North is also the creator of Cappuccino, an open source JavaScript-based web development framework. Check out co-founder Ross Boucher's videos where he talks about 280 Slides' implementation.

New feeds for Project hosting on Google Code

Monday, July 21, 2008

By Andy Chu, Google Code Team

We get a lot of feedback on Google Code and one of the biggest requests have been for feeds (as you can see in issue 8, issue 131, or issue 190). Therefore, I'm happy to announce that we now have Atom feed available for you to track issues, downloads, Subversion changes, and Wiki updates.

As an example, you can take a look at feeds for Google Web Toolkit:

Issues feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/issueupdates/basic
Downloads feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/downloads/basic
Subversion changes feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/svnchanges/basic
Wiki changes feed at http://code.google.com/feeds/p/google-web-toolkit/svnchanges/basic?path=/wiki/

For the SVN changes feed you can add '?path=/path/' to the end of the url to filter the changes by path -- for example, '?path=/trunk/' or '?path=/wiki/'. Simply substitute 'google-web-toolkit' for your project to see your feeds.

As always, if you have any feedback please do not hesitate to let us know.

IETF Applications Area Architecture Workshop

Friday, February 15, 2008

Post by Joe Gregorio, Google Developer ProgramsIETFIETF Applications Area"...that is, things that are not security (part of the security area), nor networks (most of the other areas), but rather things that use the networks and security services to provide things of benefit to the end-user."
Atom Syndication FormatAtom Publishing Protocolwhich we use extensively at Googlecall for participation"These should be a few pages of text on some topic related to Applications area architectural issues. Since the group of attendees is expected to span HTTP and AtomPub, email, IM, calendaring, directories and more, issues should be of interest to more than one of these groups. Some existing Applications architecture "modules" that already are reused include SASL, URLs, MIME types, XML and XML schemas and namespaces, HTTP as a substrate, TLS, ABNF, BEEP."
"Thank you for the high quality hosting and convenience of location and food!"

Where REST makes sense, and where it doesn't. Resource driven vs. RPC.

What the first GData APIs were

How the killer app of syncing data with Google Calendar

How you actually use the APIs? What do they need to learn? What tools do we give them?

Can you write APIs that implement the same GData APIs?

Google Macintosh group announces Objective-C library for Google data APIs

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Posted by Dion Almaer, Google Developer ProgramsreleasedObjective-C Google data APIs library
I created a framework to use Google data APIs directly in Objective-C programs. We are using the framework for our application development, and today we are making the framework available to all developers. The Google Data APIs Objective-C Library joins MacFUSE and Breakpad as open-source development efforts of Google's Mac software team, hosted at code.google.com.

Google Calendar, Google Base, Google Spreadsheets, and generic Atom feeds like Blogger are supported now in the framework, with access to more services already in development. If you are a Mac developer, I hope you'll join the open-source project and help us make even more Mac applications Google-savvy.
