How to Build Multi-Platform Maps with Google'€™s APIs

Google I/O 2013 - How to Build Multi-Platform Maps with Google'€™s APIs
The Google Maps API is now on multiple platforms, JavaScript, Android, and iOS. Each platform has it’s own special strengths and limitations, and requires special attention. But what if you’re building for all three platforms? How do you approach that problem? This session will look at the specialized development for the individual platforms versus generalized development for all three, and the trade offs inherent in each different approach. We will look at when to use our web services, and how to build a strong back-end infrastructure.

Online tutorial: ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio

This tutorial series, ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio, shows you how to deploy (publish) an ASP.NET web application to a Windows Azure Web Site or a third-party hosting provider, by using Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010.

You develop a web application in order to make it available to people over the Internet. But web programming tutorials typically stop right after they've shown you how to get something working on your development computer. This series of tutorials begins where the others leave off: you've built a web site, tested it, and it's ready to go. What's next? These tutorials show you how to deploy first to IIS on your local development computer for testing, and then to Windows Azure or a third-party hosting provider for staging and production. The sample application that you'll deploy is a web application project that uses the Entity Framework, SQL Server, and the ASP.NET membership system. The sample application uses ASP.NET Web Forms, but the procedures shown apply also to ASP.NET MVC and Web API.

These tutorials assume you know how to work with ASP.NET in Visual Studio. If you don’t, a good place to start is a basic ASP.NET Web Forms Tutorial or a basic ASP.NET MVC Tutorial.

Visual Studio 2012 is recommended, but you can complete most of the tutorial steps by using Visual Studio 2010. You'll need to install the latest updates and the Windows Azure SDK, as explained in the Prerequisites section.

Camino reaches its end

Camino was a free, open source, GUI-based Web browser based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and specifically designed for the OS X operating system. In place of an XUL-based user interface used by most Mozilla-based applications, Camino used Mac-native Cocoa APIs. On May 30, 2013, the Camino Project announced that the browser is no longer being developed.

After a decade-long run, Camino is no longer being developed, and we encourage all users to upgrade to a more modern browser. Camino is increasingly lagging behind the fast pace of changes on the web, and more importantly it is not receiving security updates, making it increasingly unsafe to use.

Fortunately, Mac users have many more browsers to choose from than they did when Camino started ten years ago. Former Camino developers have helped build the three most popular – Chrome, Firefox, and Safari – so while this is the end of Camino itself, the community that helped build it is still making the web better for Mac users.

Thank you to all our loyal users, and to everyone who contributed in countless ways over the years to make Camino what it was.
