Everybody knows that Google is one of the biggest search engines. But what most people don’t know is that Google also provides various tools and resources for website development. Here are some of the most valuable tools offered by Google:
- Google Code: Google Code is a website that provides a whole range of development tools, code snippets and API. It also publishes development-related news, videos and events. It is a great source of information for developers. The API’s and Tools section is particularly important. This is a directory of API’s for all the Google products and services. If you want to include a map on your site or your own image search, then all the necessary information is here. Each API page will provide you with links to documents and code samples, forums and blogs
- Google Web Toolkit: This is a starter pack filled with goodies including plugins, code libraries, user interface design components and developer tools. This kit was put up to help web developers build complex JavaScript applications. The GWT Designer is a plugin that generated the Java code for simpler forms. It is used by Google and has played major roles in the development of AdWords and Google Wave.
- Google App Engine: This is a part of Google’s code repository that allows web developers to run applications on Google’s enterprise hardware. It is a complete development stack that helps to build and host web applications.
