OMG ITS GOOGLE MASHUP!
Today went for the google map workshop.. omg the scripts are making me headache... so many 2nd and 3rd year pro programmers joining the competition.. i wonder if there's even the slightest chance of winning. In this competition, we have to create a google map of SP! And i'm seeing 'CRABs (crap)' everywhere. Gosh i know very little abt javascripting, lols not to mention what flash, javaprogramming and whatsoever... When creating the map of sp, we also have to add in features such as,
Features:
-map
-markets
-infowindows
-polylines, polygons
-geocoder
-directions service
-ground overlays
-kml/kmz/georss laters
-traffic + bicycling layers
-evalutation service
-street views
-style maps (colours)
and of course not to forget the programmes we might need to use.....
Programmes:
Javascript - maps JS API version 3/2 or Earth API
Web Services - Geocoding, Elevation
Javascript - ajax search API
gdata - maps data API
Flash - maps API for flash
Ruby - Sketch up API
