This is fantastic. Google is sharing code — they have a new site up (about a week old), and the site’s goal (in their words, from the FAQ):
Code.google.com is our site for external developers interested in Google-related development. It’s where we’ll publish free source code and lists of our API services.
I started to experiment with some of Google’s API code about a year ago or so, but didn’t use it for much for a variety of reasons; for one, I was behind a firewall and my program couldn’t reach the internet, and for another, I just didn’t have too many ideas at the time for what to do with it.
I’m about to take my wife out to Starbuck’s right now, but you can be sure I’ll be looking at Google’s code in the near future, if for no other reason than just to see how they’ve implemented things.
