If you've got JavaScript skills and you'd like to implement such things as Google Gadgets or Maps on your site, bring your laptops and come spend some time with us in Mountain View. This Friday, my team (Google Developer Programs) is hosting a hackathon to get you started with our JavaScript APIs. There will be plenty of our engineers around to answer questions. We'll start with short introductions of the APIs and then break into groups for coding and camaraderie. There'll be food, and prizes too. The featured JavaScript APIs:- Google Gears -- make your web applications work offline
- Google AJAX Search/Feeds -- add Google search capabilities to your website
- Google Gadgets -- create small programs that run on your i Google homepage
- Google Maps -- embed and manipulate Google Maps on your web page
- Google Calendar -- interact with Google Calendars on your website
