Event #4229: Learn to use API's like Google

Date: 2010-9-29 Country: USA Category: User Group Event URL: http://www.meetup.com/bostonphp/calendar/13561304 Do you want to give your web apps all of the power of Google Maps? Integration with the 300+ Million member of Facebook or the entire inventory of Amazon.com? It's easier than you might think. These companies (and many others) allow you to access their data and user base through APIs. What you do next is limited only by your imagination. This meetup is hosted by our own Andrew Drane of Boston PHP I'll go over some of the general principals of APIs, how they work, how to sign up and get data flowing to your web application, then do some live coding examples and build some pages demonstrate how to plug-in to powerful APIs. All the code and slides will available so anyone can adapt it to their needs, or even build their own examples during the presentation. I will be working with examples from 3 popular API's that I've worked with in the past. -- https://master.php.net/manage/event.php?id=4229&action=approve https://master.php.net/manage/event.php?id=4229&action=reject https://master.php.net/manage/event.php?id=4229
