Seo Master present to you: There are several barriers to the free flow of information, but the language barrier is one that we can reduce with a little help from the developer community.

To encourage the sharing of ideas and information across the web, early last year we announced the AJAX Language API. Then, a few weeks ago we announced the Virtual Key board API.


In the span of a few months, developers have already started to integrate these APIs in very innovative ways: Vast Rank, Mibbit.com, and Jeevansathi.

Today, I'm happy to announce that we are supporting Persian in the Language API. This comes on the heels of our announcement that we support Persian on Google Translate.

With this launch, the documentation for the AJAX Language API has been translated into Persian (the first right-to-left language supported on Google Code) and both the AJAX Language API and Virtual Keyboard API now support Persian.

I encourage you to use this API and to make this world a smaller place. Thanks!

Seo Master present to you: One of the best things about attending Google I/O is the chance to meet developers who are using our APIs and interacting with Google technology in ways we could never imagine. Not only was it amazing to see exciting examples of apps built on the AJAX and Data APIs being demoed at the developer sandbox, but it was also interesting to meet other developers who are just starting to use many of our APIs for their specific needs and cool ideas. Hopefully, by making all of our sessions available for free to watch on your own time, many of you who are interested in Google's APIs will get a better understanding of the ways we are making our API offerings easier to use, more efficient and much more feature rich.

Big Announcements & More

One of the most exciting announcements at this year's I/O was the developer preview of Google Wave. After its introduction during the Day 2 keynote, there were three sessions devoted to the Google Wave APIs: Programming With and For Google Wave, Google Wave: Powered by GWT, and Google Wave: Under the hood. We hope you're as excited as we are, and can't wait to see how you use these tools.

Another new product announcement this year was Google Web Elements, which allow you to easily add your favorite Google products onto your own website. There are elements for Google News, Maps, Spreadsheets, YouTube and others, with more to come. Be sure to check out the Day 1 keynote for a complete introduction to the simple copy and paste power of Google Web Elements.

Keeping webmasters in mind, two sessions were all about optimizing your site for search. In one talk, Matt Cutts reviewed real sites that *you* submitted. talking through real-life issues that effect developers when it comes to optimizing their app for search. The other session focused on how to maximize your site, your content, and your application's exposure to search engines.

Javascript & Google AJAX APIs

The session on Custom Search Engines focused on helping your users search the sites and topics that are relevant to you. Nick Weininger discussed some of the ways to embed search and ads onto your site (including the new Custom Search element), then customize the look and feel of the results. Adobe was on hand to show how they're using Custom Search Engines to enhance their products and insert contextual search into the developer's programming workflow. We also announced the launch of the Custom Search gadget for Blogger which gives your blog's visitors the ability to search not just your posts, but web pages linked from your blog, your blog lists, and link lists.

In the session Implementing your Own Visualization Datasource, attendees learned about building a server-side data source compatible with the Google Visualization API, including hearing about the experience from a Salesforce.com expert. Itai Raz also gave a great session on using the Visualization API with GWT and treated the audience to advanced Javascript tricks such as wrapping visualizations as gadgets.

Ben Lisbakken's session detailed some advanced Javascript techniques and then delved into some of great tips and tracks he learned while creating the Code Playground, a tool which can help developers learn about and experiment with many of Google's APIs. Some of the highlights include increasing the security and performance of applications and learning why App Engine is so easy on which to develop.

Jon Kragh of VastRank showed off some neat ways he's Using AJAX APIs to Navigate User-Generated Content, including using Google Maps to display nearby colleges and translating reviews into the viewer's language. Also, Michael Thompson explored the idea of Building a Business with Google's free APIs using example Google Gadgets, Google Gadget Ads, Mapplets, and the Maps API.

Google Data APIs

Jeff Fisher and Jochen Hartmann spoke on the future direction of the YouTube API as it becomes increasingly social. They used two sample applications to demonstrate the use of the activity feeds as well as the new "SUP" feed that allows high traffic websites to monitor YouTube for activity in a scalable manner.

The session about writing monetizable YouTube apps focused on creating applications that allowed access to YouTube videos in creative ways. In the talk, Kuan Yong showed how to expertly navigate through the YouTube API terms of service in order to avoid business pitfalls so that developers can monetize their own apps.

Eric Bidelman and Anil Sabharwal discussed the Document List Data API in detail, highlighting common enterprise use cases such as sync, migration, sharing, and legal discovery. Partners Syncplicity, OffiSync, and gDocsBar showed off compelling demos.

In the talk on the evolution of the Google Data protocol, Sven Mawson outlined all of the new features in the Google Data APIs that will help in the creation of more efficient applications. Two of the new additions included a compact and customizable JSON output and the option to retrieve only the parts of a feed that you want using partial GET.

Monsur Hossain and Eric Bidelman showed how to build a read/write gadget using OAuth and the Google Data JavaScript library. They went through a step by step set of instructions that explained how to set up the gadget code, how to get a token using the OAuth proxy, and how to read and write data to Blogger using the JavaScript library inside of an iGoogle gadget.

Google Geo APIs

Mano Marks and Pamela Fox started with a grab bag session covering the vast spectrum of Geo APIs, discussing touring and HTML 5 in KML, the Sketchup Ruby API (with an awesome physics demo), driving directions (did you know you can solve the Traveling Salesman Problem in Javascript?), desktop AIR applications, reverse geocoding, user location, and monetization using the Maps Ad Unit and GoogleBar. Pamela finished by sneak previewing an upcoming feature in the Flash API: 3d perspective view.

In the session on performance tips for Maps API mashups, Marcelo Camelo announced Google Maps API v3, a latency-oriented rewrite of our popular JS Maps API. Also see Susannah Raub's more in-depth talk about Maps API v3. Then Pamela gave advice on how to load many markers (by using a lightweight marker class, clustering, or rendering a clickable tile layer) and on how to load many polys (by using a lightweight poly class, simplifying, encoding, or rendering tiles). Sascha Aickin, an engineer at Redfin, showed how they were able to display 500 housing results on their real estate search site by creating the "SuperMarker" class.

Mano and Keith presented various ways of hosting geo data on Google infrastructure: Google Base API, Google App Engine, and the just-released Google Maps data API. Jeffrey Sambells showed how ConnectorLocal used the API (and their own custom PHP wrapper) for storing user data.

On the same day as announcing better integration between the Google Earth and Google Maps JS APIs, Roman Nurik presented on advanced Earth API topics, and released a utility library for making that advanced stuff simple.

Seo Master present to you: I am very pleased to announce version 2 of the AJAX APIs Playground. For those of you not familiar with it, the Playground is an educational application designed to show interactive code samples for some of Google's coolest Javascript APIs. Of the new changes, the most obvious is the sweet new UI, thanks to help from Roman Nurik of the Google Earth team.

The new features are:

* Break points (simulated in Javascript)

* Firebug Lite in output for debugging

* Line numbers in code editor

* Ability to edit HTML of samples



The breakpoints and Firebug Lite additions are my favorite new features. But why did I include Firebug Lite when all web developers (should!) have Firebug installed? Because when code runs on the Playground, it runs in an iFrame. That iFrame does not have the Firebug object initialized in it. Since it is a cross-domain iFrame, there's no simple way to add Firebug to the iFrame's window object, so adding Firebug Lite was the best approach. This makes it so you can now use all of your favorite Firebug debugging convenience functions in the Playground!

To use Firebug Lite and breakpoints, simply click on the line number you want to add a breakpoint to and hit "Debug Code". This will insert Firebug Lite into the output and pause the execution on the breakpoint line number until you to click the play button to continue. Try adding a breakpoint to a line, clicking "Debug Code", then opening Firebug Lite and typing in a variable name to inspect the contents/value of the variable at that point in the code.

Adding breakpoints and forcing Firebug into a local function context were really fun engineering problems, so if you want to check them out (or contribute code to the Playground) go to the open source repository for it, come chat it up on IRC, or talk with me in person at the quickly approaching Google I/O conference (early bird registration runs until May 1).

Also, it's really important that you share your feedback so that I know what you'd like to see in the next version of the Playground! Thanks, and enjoy the Playground!
