Leap day hackathon for Google Gadgets, Maps, and more
Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Written by Ben Lisbakken, Google Developer Programs
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 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
When:
Friday, February 29
- two sessions (you're welcome to attend both)
2-5:30 PM
6-10 PM
Where: The Googleplex
Building 40
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy
Mountain View, CA 94043
Room: Seville Tech Talk, 2nd floor
