A platform is more than the sum of
its component parts. You can read about it or hear about it, but to really learn what makes up
a platform you have to try it out for yourself, play with the parts, and discover what you can
build.
With that in mind, we started a project called Au-to-do: a full sample application
implementing a ticket tracker, built using Google APIs, that developers can download and
dissect.
Au-to-do currently uses the following APIs
and technologies:
Additional integrations with Google APIs are on their way.
We are also planning a series of follow-up blog posts discussing each of the integrations in
depth, with details on our design decisions and best practices you can use in your own
projects.
By the way, if you’re wondering how to pronounce Au-to-do,
you can say "auto-do" or "ought-to-do" — either is correct.
