I wanted to write something about the yahoo day which I attended few days back. I had initially thought like it will be a event which would be about hacking into yahoo's products and finding the bugs in it. I really didn't think it would be about using Yahoo API's to develop applications based on that.
It was a beautiful Saturday that started with the usual marketing stuff from Yahoo guys. I was surprised to see range of products that yahoo has. There is one thing evident. Yahoo is clearly struggling to compete from Google's products. It is not that Yahoo doesn't have good products. One of the examples can be Yahoo Go that is what I use regularly for me needs. According to me, Yahoo's products lacks the simplicity that the professionals expect. The example can be the mail platform.
After all this, started the hacking. For me it looked like deluge of professionals came together to create great applications. I could see everybody was active and the discussions happening around great ideas.
At that moment, I was thinking like what I could do. The following link was the result of the event.
1. antony-raj.appspot.com
2. antony-raj.appspot.com/dzone
I never thought that I would know Python and code a decent application using Python. Please don't forget to check the second link. You will cherish it forever.
