Searching around the net for almost 1 day I still did not see any simple good example of an app that implements the Google Calendar API. Or even simple explanation on how to implement the API is still not available. Can someone help me please? I'm a newbie to iOS. I need to learn how to create an event using the Google Calendar API through my app in iOS. I need a sample simple code...
Here are some very useful links when trying to figure out the google calendar api. http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/wiki/GDataObjCIntroduction and mainly http://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcal/. I just downloaded the source code from the second link and worked from there. It was great!
The Google Calendar API, like most Google API's, provides a straightforward REST interface. Instead of focussing first on how to create calendar events, learn how to interact with a RESTful web service. Once you know how to do that, you only have to learn what calls to make to accomplish your goal, and that's already well documented.

I would like to integrate Strava(sport tracking application/platform) with google Sheets, specifically I would like to update a google sheet spreadsheet when I upload an activity in Strava. There is some that can tell me what I was to do or where do I have to seek to learn to do it? Thank you in advance!
ps. The next step will be integrate Xiaomi Mi fit with google Sheet to compile the same spreadsheet, but I think that the tools are the same or at least almost...
If you are comfortable coding and working with REST API's, you could register for a developer account at Strava (https://developers.strava.com/) and implement this feature in your language/platform of choice. However, I would recommend starting with a much simple solution.
Check out Zapier (https://zapier.com/). Zapier lets you connect apps to build new functionality without writing a single line of code. It looks like Zapier has a Strava to Google Sheet integration, which is probably the quickest way for you to get started. Zapier is super simple, and offers tons of cool functionality.
Good luck!
Does Google offer a REST or Javascript API for creating and editing slides? I've been able to figure out how to interact with sheets and most of the other services offered as part of Docs/Drive, but haven't had any luck with Slides.
If there is no API, I'd be willing to create files directly myself, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on a Slides file format.
The Google Slides API was launched on 11/9/2016. It provides the ability to read, create, and edit Google Slides presentations.
I was looking into this too. Looks like it's been a requested feature since at least 2012, follow Issue Tracker Link
Right now the best I know of is to automate making a powerpoint file (e.g. use this library for python) and then upload it to google drive where it will autoconvert. Obviously there are many limitations to this strategy, but in a quick test it worked fine for something simple.
I would also love if Google provided an API that allows making slides like the various API calls for microsoft office.
Does anyone have an example how to sync data to Google Calendar via Lua?
Finally just changing a dates entry and reading its content.
Google does not offer a client library for Lua so you will have to use their REST API. This means the best way to get started is by looking at the documentation at http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/v3/getting_started.html.
Besides plain Lua you will need at least something like LuaSocket to retrieve and create data over the wire and based on a quick glance of their documentation some sort of authentication library is required as well (I found LuaOAuth with a quick google, but I can not recommend it because I have personally not used it).
Has anyone got any suggestions on where to start with building a google map into a rails app? I would like users to be able to add a marker by clicking the map, and have spent a few days looking for a suitable tutorial or plugin (beyond ym4r), to little avail...any help would be much appreciated as I am finding the Google Maps API rather difficult to get into! I've also come across the railskit for google maps - does anyone have any experience in using it?
Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.
I probably wouldn't use YM4R. We tried it and found that it doesn't add much value because it just wraps the API. I would recommend working with Google Maps directly from JavaScript. Google Maps API documentation is pretty good, and there are quite a few examples on the web.
There is an example of a click handler on the map here, and adding a marker is just a matter of doing
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(latlng));
does anybody know, where I can find the Google Calendars Event-GUI?
I'm building an social networking site, which relies on google calendar.
For adding and changing events, I want to use googles GUI (i dont want to code this myself if there is a partial/control already existing).
Does anybody know where I can find this?
Checkout http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/ it's the full API documentation from Google. If what you want to do is supported, it's almost certainly written about here somewhere.
If you take a look at the docs page, there is a "Calendar Tools" section on the left hand side bar that has the tools available, including gadgets and an embeddable calendar.
If you want to code something yourself you'll probably want to look at retrieving events, updating events and creating events.

Although that is to embed just your calendar.
