My First Open Source Project Released… googlePop.
This week I released my first bit of open source code. It's an open source Hello World project to print Hello Worlds across the... world. No, I'm just kidding. It is a bit of code I wrote at work to pop up a window with a Google Map. It accepts latitude, longitude, and a string as parameters. The string is displayed on a blue banner on the bottom of the map. It's fairly simple code but I figured it could be useful to others. It is released under the MIT License meaning feel free to use, abuse, and mangle my code in any fashion you see fit for whatever project, commercial or otherwise. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about it, but I think it is pretty straightforward. The code is written in HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript using the Google Maps V3 Javascript API. You can find it here on GitHub:
If you do use it, it would be cool to know where it ends up. Leave it a comment or send an email to gpop at bricode period com. Happy coding.
