Using Google Maps with Zend_GData




Zend Screencasts: Video Tutorials about the Zend PHP Framework  (iphone) show

Summary: <p>This episode will wrap up the google docs series. You can start with <a href="http://www.zendcasts.com/introduction-to-the-google-docs-api/2009/08/">Part 1</a> and <a href="http://www.zendcasts.com/geotargetting-with-the-google-maps-api/2009/08/">Part 2</a>, or jump straight into this one. With our persistence layer (the Google Docs Spreadsheet) and unit tests around geo-targetting addresses completed, we’ll tackle the view and try and visualize our data using the Google Maps API. This video will also touch on Zend_View, Zend_Controller, Zend_Registry and bootstrapping with Zend_Config. All of this wouldn’t be possible without Zend_GData. <a href="http://code.google.com/p/zendcasts/source/browse/trunk/zc33-using-google-maps-with-zend-gdata/zc33-using-google-maps-with-zend-gdata.zip">Download the source code</a>, <a href="http://code.google.com/p/zendcasts/source/browse/#svn/trunk/zc33-using-google-maps-with-zend-gdata">browse it online</a> and don’t be shy to <a href="http://www.zendcasts.com/forum/topic/45/zc33-using-google-maps-with-zendgdata/">ask questions in the forum</a>.</p> <h2>Synopsis</h2> <ul> <li>review of current unit tests</li> <li> <b>1:30</b> – review of the google docs spreadsheet</li> <li> <b>3:30</b> – creating an API key</li> <li> <b>5:00</b> – grabbing spreadsheet data</li> <li> <b>8:30</b> – embedding google maps</li> <li> <b>12:00</b> – embedding one marker</li> <li> <b>23:00</b> – writing the javascript plotting code</li> <li> <b>30:30</b> – moving configuration data into the application.ini file</li> </ul>
