Getting Started with the Google Data PHP Client Library - Google Data APIs Warning: This page is about Google's older APIs, the Google Data APIs; it's relevant only to the APIs that are listed in the Google Data APIs directory, many of which have been replaced with newer APIs. For information about a specific new API, see the new API's documentation. For information about authorizing requests with a newer API, see Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization. Video: Watch Trevor Johns go through client library installation, library architecture, and a code walkthrough. Jochen Hartmann, Google Data APIs Team Updated October 2008 (Originally written by Daniel Holevoet) Introduction The Google Data PHP Client Library is a powerful collection of classes that allow you to interact with the Google Data APIs. Pre-Installation PHP may already be installed on your development machine or web-server so the first step is to verify that fact and to make sure that the version of PHP is recent enough to be used for the client library. The screenshot shows the PHP info page.
Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site The Exceptional Performance team has identified a number of best practices for making web pages fast. The list includes 35 best practices divided into 7 categories. Minimize HTTP Requests tag: content 80% of the end-user response time is spent on the front-end. One way to reduce the number of components in the page is to simplify the page's design. Combined files are a way to reduce the number of HTTP requests by combining all scripts into a single script, and similarly combining all CSS into a single stylesheet. CSS Sprites are the preferred method for reducing the number of image requests. Image maps combine multiple images into a single image. Inline images use the data: URL scheme to embed the image data in the actual page. Reducing the number of HTTP requests in your page is the place to start. top | discuss this rule Use a Content Delivery Network tag: server The user's proximity to your web server has an impact on response times. top | discuss this rule top | discuss this rule tag: css
Protocol Basics - Google Data APIs Warning: Most newer Google APIs are not Google Data APIs. The Google Data APIs documentation applies only to the older APIs that are listed in the Google Data APIs directory. For information about a specific new API, see that API's documentation. For information about authorizing requests with a newer API, see Google Accounts Authentication and Authorization. This document describes the basics of the Google Data Protocol used by many Google APIs, including examples of what a query looks like, what results look like, and so on. For more information about the Google Data Protocol, see the Developer's Guide overview page and the Protocol Reference. Contents Audience This document is intended for anyone wanting to understand the general idea of the XML format and protocol used by the Google Data APIs. This document assumes that you understand the basics of XML, namespaces, syndicated feeds, and the GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests in HTTP, as well as HTTP's concept of a "resource." Examples
Tip: Shadow Copy and your \bin directory - .net DEvHammer One of the things that makes developing ASP.NET applications very cool is that you can rapidly prototype, tweak, and update your application, without having to stop and restart the web server. This includes assemblies (DLLs) used by your application for things like business logic and/or data access. You can simply drag and drop a new copy of a DLL into the \bin directory, and ASP.NET will automatically start using the new DLL with the next request. The way that this works is that ASP.NET makes a shadow copy of the contents of the \bin directory, and loads the DLLs from the copy. While this is very convenient, it does take time, and if you have a large number of DLLs, or very large DLLs, the shadow copy process can potentially impact application startup and restart performance. So in some situations, you might want to turn off the shadow copy process. [hat tip to Scott Guthrie, who originally shared this tip via email]
Apps Platform Google Apps allows website administrators to offer their users co-branded versions of a variety of personalized Google applications, such as Gmail. This document describes the Google Apps Provisioning API, which enables application developers to programmatically enable access to these applications. Specifically, the API provides functions for creating, retrieving, updating and deleting user accounts with one or more domains, nicknames, email aliases, organization units, and groups. This version of the Provisioning API follows the principles of the Google Data APIs. Google Data APIs are based on both the Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0 syndication formats in addition to the Atom Publishing Protocol. (Provisioning API version 1.0 is no longer in service. Using the Provisioning API The following subsections explain how to use the Google Apps Provisioning API. Getting Started Before you can start using the Provisioning API, you'll need to create an administrator account for Google Apps. Protocol Java <? <?

Future columns will offer additional REST-based applications and analyses. — Editor If you follow web services, then you may have heard of REST. What Is REST? What is REST anyway? A software architecture is defined by a configuration of architectural elements--components, connectors, and data--constrained in their relationships in order to achieve a desired set of architectural properties. Why Follow REST? The whys of REST are covered on the REST Wiki. How to Create a RESTful Interface Now we get to the meat of the matter. What are the URIs? Question 1: What Are the URIs? Question 2: What's the Format? Review
XML.com/Namespaces January 19, 1999 January 14th saw the arrival of a new W3C Recommendation, Namespaces in XML. "Recommendation" is the final step in the W3C process; the status means that the document is done, frozen, agreed-upon and official. Namespaces are a simple and straightforward way to distinguish names used in XML documents, no matter where they come from. However, the concepts are a bit abstract, and this specification has been causing some mental indigestion among those who read it. So let's set up a scenario: suppose XML.com wanted to start publishing reviews of XML books. <h:html xmlns:xdc=" xmlns:h=" Review</h:title></h:head><h:body><xdc:bookreview><xdc:title>XML: A Primer</xdc:title><h:table><h:tr align="center"><h:td>Author</h:td><h:td>Price</h:td><h:td>Pages</h:td><h:td>Date</h:td></h:tr><h:tr align="left"><h:td><xdc:author>Simon St. Why Namespaces?

XML.com October 03, 1998 Author's Note: It is somewhat remarkable to think that this article, which appeared initially in the Winter 1997 edition of the World Wide Web Journal was out of date by the time the final XML Recommendation was approved in February. And even as this update brings the article back into line with the final spec, a new series of recommendations are under development. When finished, these will bring namespaces, linking, schemas, stylesheets, and more to the table.
