Abuja GTUG Meeting #3 (Google Visualization + Maps API)

When you want to build a web application with chart functionality, such that your data source can be represented in different charts (Bar, Pie, Table, etc) by changing just a line of code, or use different sources from database to spreadsheet or dynamically created data as your data source, your biggest question would be what charting tool am I going to use.

This question was answered by Farouk Alogba in the third event of the Abuja GTUG held on 1st May 2010.

In the first session of the event, Farouk discussed on all the nuts and bolts of the Google Visualization API. He explained on how to use the API in your web application, configure your datasource for presentation and how to create Gadgets for your charts. To cap it all, he gave a demo on a live application he created using the Google Visualization API. Find more details
from the slides below.



In the second session I gave a brief introduction on the Maps API and how to create and customize your own maps for your applications.
