As I said earlier, Quite a few presentations from Google I/O have been posted for your viewing pleasure. I'll be glued to these this weekend while I'm on call. Topics include Ajax KML Sketchup Android OpenSocial Appengine Data APIs Theory Talks Youtube Gears Mashups Maps and more!
I haven't been able to post as often or as in depth as I'd like to have this past month. I chalk it up mostly to work, we all love 12 hour days right? But now that sign-off has passed and our last release of 2007 is calmly approaching (its on Friday), things have settled down a bit. Below are some great links from October, most of which I wanted to mention at some point and haven't gotten a chance to until now. Enjoy. The JavaScript Library for Google Calendar was released. This allows for authenticated…
My first ticket for the Google Document List API has been fixed. As I posted about [before](https://gpowered.blogspot.com/2007/08/quick-docs-api-example- python.html), the Document List API did not have the ability to just retrieve the documents from a given folder or tag. This has now been made possible, thanks API team! Original ticket: It would be ideal if we could pull back a list of documents from a certain folder.

As of this morning (or at least sometime before lunch), Zoho Writer turned on offline mode with Google Gears. If you haven't heard about Gears yet is a small application (and framework for developers) to enable Ajax applications to go offline. It uses a very small local server and database to grab all the data you would need should the application go offline (this has to be set up by the developers of the application). There is a great podcast about it [here](http://google-code- updates.blogspot.com/2007/0…

The most basic query will just return all of your documents However, if we want to display just the spreadsheets, we build the query like this: Finally, we output the titles If we wanted to, we could also import the DateTime library and show when the document was last updated For me this outputs:
Google Data API posts now you can import your spreadsheets and word processor documents into Google Documents using the new Documents List API. Until I write up a tutorial, check out the Documents List API
