Hello there,

As I was present to answer any OpenSocial questions at a presentation given by the Oracle Appslab team on their new OpenSocial container work, I decided to offer up a presentation at the OpenWorld Unconference as well where I will provide an overview of Google’s APIs and how you can integrate them into your applications.

Here’s a title and (somewhat wordy) abstract:

Title: “Integrating Google APIs into your applications”

Abstract: In addition to the Google Maps API, you may be surprised to know about all of the other Google APIs that are freely available to integrate into your applications. These include the AJAX APIs for integrating Google Search, Feeds and Language translations into your Web pages/applications. For server-side integration, Google’s Data APIs allows you to interact with many of Google’s online services including Calendar, Blogger, YouTube among others. Finally you can use the Google led OpenSocial Open Source software to build your own social applications and/or container to host social applications. This talk will cover all of these topics in a casual manner with an emphasis of showing working demos of Google technology integrations.

Hope to see you there!
