Esri Releases ArcGIS API for JavaScript 2.2

March 3, 2011 2 Comments

Just in time for the Esri Developer Summit, Esri has pushed out the ArcGIS API for JavaScript[ref]Horrible name, but great API[/ref].  Esri says it includes “many oft-requested features that will improve the usability of the Web apps you build”.  If that doesn’t get you excited there is always the “What’s new in Version 2.2” in the docs with lots of samples.

On a related note, did anyone else notice that Flash Gordon (with help from Prince Vultan and the Hawkmen) attacked the War Rocket Ajax[ref]Yes, Ajax. Weird huh?[/ref] in the movie Flash Gordon?  Every time I hear someone talk about Flex/Flash I too want to scream, “repel all boarders”.

Google’s AJAX API Playground

January 23, 2009 5 Comments

Google has a new tool that helps developers learn and test code for Google’s JavaScript APIs (similar to Microsoft’s VE Interactive SDK).  The interactive AJAX APIs Playgound has an easy interface that allows users to interact with Google’s JavaScript APIs (Visualization, Search, Language, Blogger, Libraries, Maps, Earth, Feeds, and Calendar).   Google also open sourced the API playgound so maybe we’ll be seeing more of it with other APIs in the near future (*cough* ESRI JavaScript API *cough*).
