The Google Apps API allows developers to write applications that access Google applications such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs. Libraries written and supported by Google exist for languages such as Java, JavaScript, .NET, PHP, Python...but what about 4D? In this session, we explore ways to access Google Apps from the 4D language. First, we go through the various requirements for desktop applications (as opposed to web applications) to register as a Google App client. Next, we visit key concepts such as oAuth, REST, JSON and how to implement them in 4D. Finally, we'll look at ways to design a modular component with generic deployment in mind.
