Scriptaculous Cheat Sheet #1

Posted on 25th April, by max in Code. Comments Off

During my talk at Canada on Rails I mentioned that I was working on a Scriptaculous cheat sheet, at the behest of none other than Thomas Fuchs himself. (Actually it was more a teasing-slash-friendly challenge situation than a behest, as such, but I digress.) He hasn’t stopped bugging me about it, and so it’s actually gotten done.

Howto integrate Google Calendar in your website using AJAX

Posted on 22nd April, by max in Code. Comments Off

One of the features I find it interesting in Google calendar is the possibility to create shared calendars, but also the availability of your calendar as XML or ICAL whatever it’s a private or public one. As soon as we have XML of our calendar available I was wondering why not integrating Google calendar directly in website. For example a community that use the service to manage their events, or to display your future trips in your blog ?
