We wanted to take a minute and highlight some developers like yourselves who have been writing helpful tutorials or wrappers for the YouTube Data APIs.

In case you missed the announcement, we recently added YouTube support into the Google Data Objective-C Library. Not long after, Dan Sinclair, wrote a few helpful tutorials about getting started building a YouTube app in Cocoa. Check 'em out here:

Part 1: MyTube from the ground up
Part 2: MyTube - Installing the image wall
Part 3: MyTube - now with moving images

For the ActionScript 3 developers who want help querying and parsing Google Data feeds from Flash, Martin Legris wrote a small wrapper and also contributed an article to code.google.com on how to use it.

Shane Vitarana's Ruby wrapper has been updated to handle the Google Data feeds. Read the short introduction in his blog.

The Google Data .NET Client Library doesn't have YouTube-specific support yet, but Karsten Januszewski has written a sample and wrapper to help ease the parsing pain in the meantime.

If you've written a cool application, tutorial, or extension using the YouTube APIs, we'd love to see it! Share it with everyone over in the forum.

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone,

In case you haven't heard, we're holding our annual developer event,
Google I/O, on May 28-29th. Google I/O is a 2 day developer gathering in San Francisco
focused on how to build better web applications.

There are a few YouTube-specific sessions about building custom players, fully integrating YouTube into your site or app, and a codelab using the APIs and Python. The talks will led by Geoff, John, and Jochen respectively (check out the launch video to put some names to faces).

See the full list of sessions here:
http://code.google.com/events/io/sessions.html

Jeff, Ryan and I (you may recognize us from the forum) will also be there giving talks or helping out. Other Google engineers will be leading sessions and codelabs on a variety of topics, as well as hanging around booths to chat with you guys and answer questions.

You can register here:

Sign up early (or start
bugging your bosses to send you to the conference :). We hope to see you there!

For those of you can't make it to San Francisco, or are wondering what happened to Google Developer Day from last year, don't despair! We'll also be holding many Developer Days around the world (more info to come later).

Cheers,

Steph
