What You Code Is What You Get: New Interactive Dev Guide

Thursday, March 13, 2008 at 4:04 PM



Have you ever tried to learn how to use a new API from your favorite programming language, looked at the docs and thought "Arggh, do I really have to copy and paste all this code or understand this full sample app just to get started?".

Now you don't have to!

We just released an interactive version of the JavaScript Developer's Guide for the Calendar Data API. You can modify or rewrite the sample code, and execute it right inside your browser. The developer's guide provides a rich text editor for all the sample source code and lets you instantly see the effect of the snippet you just executed.

We hope that this makes it easier for you to get started and have fun experimenting with the JavaScript client library.

Yes! Actually, now that I see this I wonder why not all APIs doesn't come with one. Really. There's always something you don't really know well that is assumed by the spec authors which result in weird errors (or nothing at all) when all the code is up.

This way you can doodle with the API immediately. Goof stuff this.
