Google Code, that is. href="http://code.google.com/events/developerday" >Google Developer
Day has officially kicked off in Sydney, Australia, beginning
our 29-hour marathon of developer activities around the world.
Approximately 5,000 developers will join us today in ten countries
to talk about Google's developer products, ask questions, and
share their thoughts with Google engineers. For those who can't
make it, we're webcasting the href="http://code.google.com/events/developerday/webcast-schedule.html" >
sessions from London and California live, and posting recorded
sessions from all locations on the website.

A deep dive into technical sessions, free food, swag — what more
could a developer ask for? Well, a few new products would be a good
start, and that's what we're providing.

First up is Google
Gears, an open source browser extension for enabling offline
web applications. Now developers will be able to create web
applications that don't need a constant Internet connection to
work. Users, meanwhile, can interact with Gears-enabled websites
anywhere, whether they're on the couch or on an airplane. With
this early release, we hope the community will provide feedback and
move towards an industry standard for offline web applications.
Read more on the new Gears
blog.

An experimental product debuting today is the href="http://editor.googlemashups.com/"
>Google Mashup Editor, an online
editor that enables developers to create, test, and deploy mashups
and simple web applications from within a browser. Now developers
can turn out those weekend projects more quickly. We've also
launched a new >blog where you can learn more
about the Google Mashup Editor and get the latest news.

Finally, we released href="http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/mapplets/index.html"
>Google Mapplets yesterday at the href="http://conferences.oreillynet.com/where2007/"
>Where 2.0 conference. Mapplets are
mini-applications that any developer can build on top of Google
Maps so that users can easily discover the creative genius and
usefulness of the mashup development community. You'll find
more about Mapplets href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2007/05/mashup-of-mashups.html"
>here. And we're also quite excited about the
interest that has been shown in Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Since its
launch last May, there have been over 1 million downloads. You can
read more href="http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com/2007/05/gwt-reaches-1-million-downloads.html" >
on the GWT blog.

Between Developer Day, the product launches, and GWT's
activity, we hope to keep developers around the world busy for a
while. But if you run out of things to build, you can always find
more ideas on Google Code.
