Chrome Extensions, API’s and XML-RPC

Posted on the January 8th, 2011 under Goals,Google,Monetization,Personal,Self Improvement,Web 2.0,Web Development by Timothy Allard

So it’s now 2011, a time for new things and higher standards. I have set many goals for the new year. One thing in particular is to expand my API knowledge. I have been working with many API’s recently. Google Analytics, Google Charts, Bit.ly, Feed Burner etc, and want to push myself to know them in and out.

Outside of API’s I have been experimenting with Google Chrome Extension’s and App development. I am currently working on a personal project using XML-RPC for WordPress and hope to get it out in market within a month or so. This tool will be a neat experiment for myself and open many doors. I am in a mobile/web app mindset right now really trying to fill my head with all knowledge pertaining to that area.

With the release of Google Chrome’s Store, this would allow many people to take the skills they already have and easily create a web app or tool to monetize.

If you want to check out an app that is in market navigate to the Chrome Editor by Bryan Lynn, a good friend of mine who is working on an offline editor.

If you have any resources, or things which you found interesting, please let me know!
