Patrick is french, so he takes long vacations in the summer and likes to drink red wine with baguette and stinky cheese while wearing a beret. Apart from programming and reading books his main interest in life is spending time with his wife and 3 kids.
On November 6th, Google launched the OpenSocial API. This API is designed to let application developers create their apps once and have it applied to all social networks.
In this session learn about the new APIs, what they provide access to (profile, storage, and activity), their GData counterparts, and what sites will be accepting them.
