Google Visualization API beyond Google Spreadsheets

Google announced opening up the Google Visualization API beyond Google Spreadsheets and adding more capabilities for developers.
"The Google Visualization API lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display, choosing from a large selection of visualizations. The Google Visualization API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share and reuse visualizations written by the developer community at large."

Concerning Google I/O developer conference, Google added some new features for the Google Visualization API:

• A JavaScript interface to create add-hoc data tables on the client.
• The new interface allows developers to create non Gadget-ized visualizations.
• The AJAX API introduces another cool new capability.

Git As Latest Generation Of Version Control Systems

Git is an open source version control system rapidly growing in popularity.
Git handles very large projects, focuses on speed, effectivity and real-world usability on large projects.
If you often work offline, using Git allows you to:

• make local commits that you can reorganize and upload later
• have your own copy of the entire history of the project which you can peruse at your leisure
• serve code and its history to others
• have changes you want to share
• work on several issues in parallel
• save some of those experimental changes after all
• create, merge, clone and otherwise manipulate branches cheaply and offline

"Git was initially written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers 'round the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano."
