By Dion Almaer, Google Developer ProgramsWeekly Google Code Roundup: Lots of Geo, feeling Ajax-y and another SoC graduation
It really rained today, which has been the biggest rain that I have seen since moving to Mountain View. I am used to it, since I hail from England, and I have the chance to go back to London to
speak on Google Gears at the Future of Web Apps conference. We learned more about
Vortex, a simple new offline and sync abstraction on top of Gears.
In other Ajax news, the Ajax API team released a nice new
Dynamic Feed Control that has a wizard that helps you find feeds.
The GWT team are looking forward to Pearson's
GWT conference which offers dedicated time with GWT developers and core engineers. The Rialto framework also joined the GWT family by creating a
GWT wrapper of itself.
The bulk of the news seemed to center around the geo landscape.
Chris Schalk
wrote a
detailed article on mashing Google Maps with Oracle XML DB and Java.
Pamela
announced a new LabeledMarker which supports marker and label toggling, and the Google Mashup Editor team has updated its
geo coding in maps.
There were some really fun feature additions too. You can
now play YouTube videos from within Google Earth. It is great to zoom in on the Eiffel tower and see videos related to it.
The Earth team have also made it
much easier to explore Earth in general. I enjoy the
history of London.
If you aren't sure whether it is daytime or not when you drunkenly call your friend who is in europe, flip over to the featured
DaylightMap site that always shows you where the sun shines.
We will finish with some interesting news for the newest coders:
