Google organises the world’s information and makes it accessible to all. Information also comes in the shape of geographical data, local business listings and user generated maps, and for this reason Google would like to invite you to the Google Maps South Africa launch.
Google is now giving Capetonians the oppertunity to take part in the launch of Google Maps in South Africa, on Friday the 30th of October at UCT in Cape Town.
Speakers will include Jarda Bengl, Business Product Manager, Google.
The talk will cover Introduction to development with the Google Maps API.
They’ll show some examples of great implementations, then cover the basics of how to add a map to your site including Javascript techniques to create maps, place markers, handle clicks, geocode addresses, add driving directions and how to work with Street View.
Just note that basic knowledge of XHTML, CSS, XML and Javascript is required.
Everybody is welcome from Developers and Web Masters who are new to Google Maps API, Computer Science Students.
