Our new Developer Community Calendar: View it, Map it, Add to it!
By Pamela
Fox, Google Developer ProgramsI was scheduling a trip to
New York City last month to visit some friends and thought, "Well, it'd be nice to take in a
conference or two." I proceeded to search online for hours -- including queries like "new york
city ajax," "conferences new york," "user group new york" -- and came up basically empty
handed. Frustrated, I cornered my co-worker Austin Chau, and we did what us geeks tend to do
when we want something: we hacked it up ourselves!
Google's 'Developer
Events Calendar' has always listed Google-sponsored and/or Google-attended events, but today
we're launching a second calendar for the developer community at large. You can view both
calendars side-by-side in either
calendar view or
map view, and with a Google Calendar account, you can
add your own
meetup to the list. (If you're keen on the project's technical specs, we'll be
writing about the code itself shortly, so check back soon for an article and source
links.)
We hope you find the calendars useful, and we look forward to
your feedback.
Try it
out now: add your upcoming conference, user group, or party. (Yes, we developers
know how to party. If you don't know how, I'll graciously volunteer to show you).
