Posted by Karthik on June 1, 2007
Google,on it’s Google Developer Day meeting held on the 31st of May emphasized on Google to help developers “integrate,reach and build”.In the keynote address,Jeff Huber,the vice-president talked about the latest tools it brought out – Google Mashup Editor, Mapplets and Gears.
The Google Mashup Editor is used to help developers build mashups – the small Web applications that tap into Google’s various APIs–by providing server, hosting, data bases, and authentication and other Web services, all brought together in a single AJAX interface and coupled with an editing screen and easy access to Google-supported sandbox testing.
The idea behind Google Mapplets is that it will make these sorts of gadgets easier for developers to combine with Google Maps, thus making them even more appealing to the millions of visitors to Google’s network.
Google Gears is a web browser plug-in that allows Web developers to add offline access to Web applications such as Google’s own Gmail.
