More developer love with Google Code Search
October 5, 2006
Posted by Bret Taylor, Senior Product Manager
Today we launched
Google Code Search
, which gives programmers a single place to search publicly accessible source code. I am really excited about this launch, as it caps off a long sequence of Google product launches for developers in the past year, including
Google Maps API v2
,
Google Calendar API
,
Google Web Toolkit
,
Google AJAX Search API
,
Google Checkout API
,
project hosting on Google Code
,
Google Base API
, and
Google Gadgets for Your Page
. Google's developer team is focused on building tools that help developers extend and improve Google's products and improve their own applications, and we are really excited to see all the amazing things that have been created already (
traffic map for your Google homepage
, anyone?).
The success of the Google Maps API taught us that an API doesn't need to be complex to be powerful, and that principle has formed the basis of our API design. If you haven't seen how far cut-and-paste can get you, check out the
list of sample applications
we've published for the
AJAX Search API
. Or check out the
Google Calendar API examples
; to get a feed of your calendar entries, you just need to fetch a single URL from Google's servers.
We have also launched a number of general-purpose developer and open-source tools like
Google Web Toolkit
and
project hosting on Google Code
. Our view is what's good for the web is good for Google -- we want users to have the best online experience possible, and we hope these tools will help developers create compelling applications for their users.
So if you haven't been to
Google Code
lately, check it out. We are continuously adding useful tools to our suite of developer products, and it's a great way to leverage the power of Google's infrastructure in your own projects.
