Topic: ZC33 - Using Google Maps with Zend_GData

This episode will wrap up the google docs series. You can start with Part 1 and Part 2, 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.

  • review of current unit tests

  • 1:30 - review of the google docs spreadsheet

  • 3:30 - creating an API key

  • 5:00 - grabbing spreadsheet data

  • 8:30 - embedding google maps

  • 12:00 - embedding one marker

  • 23:00 - writing the javascript plotting code

  • 30:30 - moving configuration data into the application.ini file

Re: ZC33 - Using Google Maps with Zend_GData

Hi. First of all, thanks for the podcast, was very helpful for me. But when I try to download zip file (the project), Google says "This file is not plain text (only UTF-8 and Latin-1 text encodings are currently supported). " How can I get the source files?
Regards.
