“Google Maps API Introduction
Brandon Badger
The Google Maps API is a powerful way to put a custom map on your website. In this session, you’ll learn just how easy it is to create your own maps mashup. We’ll start with the basics and progress through the tools that the API provides. By the end of the session, you’ll be amazed at the sophisticated maps that you’ll be able to embed on your web site with just a few lines of JavaScript.

Speaker Bio: Brandon is the Product Manager for the Google Maps API and KML. While at Google, he has worked to grow the Google Maps and Google Earth development communities. Prior to Google, Brandon worked as an Engineer and Development Manager at Symantec. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University.

    I love it, and i’ve been playing with it on one production site. Unlike youtube API, this one takes a while to learn and yes… it does expect you to be a GEEK, sad really ! But I suppose google is keeping the option open as well.. let the users become Teachers for APIs as well ? If anyone is thinking of learning google MAP APi, i suggest that you browse the DEMOS first than do anything else. Because that’s where you will learn a lot. Search : Google Maps API Demo. Nice presentation.

    This short tutorial gave me the concepts I need to really understand how to make a google map. I wish more web programmers would do likewise, rather than having their concepts buried in a price heavy book or long, abstruse written article with only a few illustrations.

    like PGTaboada said: “a rough overview”; it isn’t a training, it’s just an invite in that univers;

    Brilliant market strategy.

    Unfortunately, now I’m going to feel driven to spend time I really don’t have to create custom Google mapping for key clients.

    But those clients will be so happy!
