OMG! I nearly squealed like a school girl!

Google Calendar allows client applications to view and update calendar events in the form of Google data API (“GData”) feeds. Your client application can use the Google Calendar data API to create new events, edit or delete existing events, and query for events that match particular criteria.

There are many possible uses for the Calendar data API. For example, you can create a web front end for your group’s calendar that uses Google Calendar as a back end. Or you can generate a public calendar for Google Calendar to display, based on your organization’s event database. Or you can search relevant calendars to display a list of upcoming events on those calendars.

Happy, happy, happy. Joy, joy, joy! :-)

Why such a big deal? Well, I’m trying to figure a way of building a Guild Raid events calendar and this has just offered me a way of completely removing the hard part. :-) I can run an events calendar on our guild site, completely blended with the guild site, but fully powered by Google. Why write my own calendar? :-)

Then again, the guild site is going to take a while to finish properly. Am working on the DKP system first. Thats the highest priority at the moment. Even if Nick really does want to vomit when he looks at the current site attempts by the other guildies ;-)
