Loading Google API Javascript Client Library into Chrome Extension. Chrome DevTools. Overview. Once you've finished this page and the Getting Started tutorial, you'll be all set to start writing extensions. An extension is a zipped bundle of files—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and anything else you need—that adds functionality to the Google Chrome browser. Extensions are essentially web pages, and they can use all the APIs that the browser provides to web pages, from XMLHttpRequest to JSON to HTML5.

Michelle Minkoff » Using Google spreadsheets as your database. UPDATE 2/7/12: The whole, copyable script has been added to the bottom of this post, at the request of a few folks. Hopefully that’s helpful. The database is a key part of data journalism. We spend a good amount of time making structured of the unstructured, and then we need to shove it somewhere so a web app can serve up relevant pieces, perform calculations to help us understand nuance. Straight text files just have their limits. Would you like an example?
