Google Gadgets
Presented by Zhen Wang

Got content but want attention? Learn how to take your web application and make it distribute to millions of users and tens of thousands of sites across the internet by making a Google universal Gadget. In this session, we'll introduce Gadgets and their ecosystem, show you just how easy it is to make your first gadget, and go over some interesting advanced techniques that will really make your gadget pop. A Q&A session will follow.

Zhen Wang is a core member of the Google Gadgets team, mainly working on Gadget API and integration with other Google products. Prior to joining Google, Zhen studied A.I. and forensics as a Ph.D. (incomplete) student at Nanyang Technological University.

Google Developer Day Sydney: Mapplets: Making Maps Mashups Discoverable

scoundrel — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:42:58 GMT

Mapplets: Making Maps Mashups Discoverable
Presented by James Macgill

Thousands of Google Maps mashups have been created in the two years since we released the Google Maps API, but most of these sites are islands of information and few users know that they exist. We will discuss an approach to make these sites more discoverable by users around the world. More details will be provided at Developer Day.

James Macgill holds a PhD from the University of Leeds in the UK where he worked on innovative spatial analysis techniques. James subsequently worked as deputy director of the Centre for Computational Geography at Leeds on a variety of geospatial research initiatives. Among those was the foundation of the open source GeoTools library, a Java GIS toolkit for developing standards compliant solutions which now powers a number of other open source geospatial projects including GeoServer and uDIG. Before moving to Google in 2005, James was a Senior Researcher at the Penn State GeoVISTA Center, working on research in geovisualization methods and tools.

Google Developer Day Sydney - Bo Majewski: Maps API

scoundrel — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 15:41:11 GMT

Maps API
Presented by Bo Majewski

The Google Maps API lets you create compelling maps mashups on your websites. In this session, we'll go over all of the latest features in the API. You'll learn how to take your maps mashups to the next level and discover how to build highly interactive maps with the Google Maps API, learn about controls, overlays, and map events using the API, how to create custom overlays, either programmaticaly or using KML and GeoRSS and understand how to optimise performance of your maps.

Bo Majewski received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Queensland. Upon completion he moved to Newcastle, where for 2 years he taught algorithms, networks and software engineering. In 1998 Bo left the academia, and Australia, to pursue career in software industry in the heart of Silicon Valley where he worked in diverse areas such as computer graphics, electronic commerce and computer networks. Bo was eventually drawn back to the Land Down Under and joined Google Australia in Dec 2005. He currently spends most of his time working on Google Maps and supporting projects.

Google Developer Day Sydney: Open Source, Google APIs, Google Web Toolkit

scoundrel — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 19:13:39 GMT

Open Source, Google APIs, Google Web Toolkit
Presented by Lars Rasmussen

Why Google supports and uses open source, why it is good for us, and why you should use it too. Followed by an overview of Google's extensive collection of APIs for use by third party developers including the Google Maps API, the Google AJAX Search API, the Google Gadgets API and much more. This session will then explore the Google Web Toolkit (GWT), a Java-centric framework for creating AJAX applications. GWT cross-compiles Java source into JavaScript, allowing Java developers to use their existing Java skills and tools to easily create AJAX applications with virtually no learning curve. Lars will contrast using the toolkit with his experience 'hand-rolling' the AJAX of Google Maps, and if time allows, demonstrate building a simple application with GWT.

Lars Eilstrup Rasmussen is a member of Google's technical staff and a lead engineer of the team that created Google Maps. He currently works out of Google's young but growing Sydney engineering office and is actively working to expand Google's engineering presence in Australia. Lars holds a Ph.D. in theoretical computer science from the University of California at Berkeley, which nominated his thesis on approximate counting for the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award. In early 2003, Lars co-founded with his brother Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen a mapping-related startup, Where 2 Technologies, which was acquired by Google in October of 2004.
