The Google Visualization API lets you access multiple sources of
structured data that you can display, choosing from a large selection
of visualizations. It also provides a platform that can be used to
create, share and reuse visualizations written by the developer
community at large. Several of the key benefits include:
- Embed visualizations directly into your website
- Write, share and reuse visualization apps
- Create extensions to Google products, such as Google Docs
- Use many data sources, one API
- The Visualization API is AJAX-based and includes Gadget extensions so you can easily wrap your applications as Gadgets
This
session is a practical introduction to building visual applications
using the Google Visualization API. We'll walk through building an
application and a Gadget that uses the API, using that application as
the basis for discussing the various facets of the API.
Prerequisites: Prior knowledge of Web Development and javascript is advantageous.
