http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World

Click me to see how this link works in action. Well, this is a very basic example to be given if you are going to have a first look at it this way. Lets move on to something complex and lets drive in between the different flavors over which you can create amazing charts, maps and yeah, even venn diagrams. Now, you might have seen how the link looks like. Let the people who do not have time to even click that have a look at how the chart looks like.

Ok, very basic chart. If you observe the link that we have provided above,

1. You can observe 'chd=t:60,40' which are nothing but how much ‘Hello’ and ‘World’ should occupy in the chart. Simple. Wait.

2. Now, check the ‘cht=p3′ which is nothing but the type of the chart.

3. Now, ‘chs=250×100′, yes, you are right. It depicts the size of the image to be generated. This is what Google provides regarding the constraints over the sizes:

Specify chart size with chs=<width in pixels>x<height in pixels>

For example, chs=300x200 generates a chart 300 pixels wide and 200 pixels high.

The largest possible area for all charts except maps is 300,000 pixels. As the maximum height or width is 1000 pixels, examples of maximum sizes are 1000×300, 300×1000, 600×500, 500×600, 800×375, and 375×800.

For maps, the maximum size is 440 pixels wide by 220 pixels high.

4. chl=Hello|World is the chart’s label. You can change it to what ever you wish to. Like ‘Pizza|Burger’, ‘Obama|Bush’, creativity rules.

So, what are the different chart types provided??

There are loads and loads of tricks that can be done and to create those complex kind of Charts to woo your clients. Just go to College@Home and select what you wish to do.

All the 50 great tricks provided are explained in detail and it is nothing but a piece of cake to learn and use the Google Charts API.

You can even have a look at the tutorials being given out by Google.

You can try it at Saphua. Another nice feature is that the applications minimized through Minime do not show up in the Alt+Tab menu which makes it more worthwhile to categorize the tasks being done and work accordingly.

No installation is required. This is a small 200KB executable which sits in the tray waiting for the key combination which you can configure, or a gesture which activates this tool.

Give it a shot and do let us know how you would use this application.

Every programmer at one stage or the other faces this kind of situation. What was the way that we had? How did we come to a solution at that times? Scorching through the hardcover books or glancing through the gigabytes of e-books such as pdfs, documents and texts that we have for a piece of code which is troubling like hell? Put a halt for all these woes of yours!!!

Now, we have loads and loads of websites which provide us with the source code samples exemplifying over what the next step would be.

Lets start with something that we have entrusted our lives with when we are online. What is the most widely used search engine that we use when we think of anything? Yes, Google itself has got an extensive code search facility which enables the code mongers to have a look at sample codes which are quite enough to get most of the things done in a project. Google uses its exclusive search algorithms to find out the relevant matches and provides you with multiple options where you can finalize over what is primarily required.

So whatever you are going to develop in the near future, if, you are working on the prevalent Java and J2EE technology, you are going to test your application or module as per the specifications. So, no matter if you are performing peer testing or testing from your side, you are going to use JUnit. So, here is the example provided on how you would observe the results based on your JUnit testing on code search in Google.

You can search and get more from the Google Code Search.

There are more than what you can search from Google.

Another best code collection that I have come across is Koders, yeah, thats what we are.

At Koders, you are provided with an option to emphasize, that is , stress on what you are hereto search for and what your end search result would be. Provide an appropriate option over the language over wish you would love to have a look at and provide a search query from what you are looking out for. To let you know of the versatility of this code search engine I have asked it to provide me with Struts ActionForms and this is what I have got.

A feasible solution for most of the programming woes has already been set in motion and it all depends on what you need to work on and find out how to present the websites with a perfect combination of how the search query works.

So, what if you are working on Dot Net(.Net) technology by Microsoft? There are a few sites which provide you with a code base which assists you in working on the same. Contrary to the popular belief that you can not always get the idea from the others code, I have observed that you can at least get an overview or catch upon how you an carry on with the next code fragment if you are provided with how this can be done. In this sense, just try the Code Project site which offers code search based on your search criteria.

Rest assured that www.codeproject.com also provides you with the required Java source code patches so that you can work around one thing or the other. But, as always, only the directions are provided. So, it is at your liberty how you wish to implement this and attain code nirvana.

I have provided relevant information and this would be just a glimpse of what you can search and get for. You are at freedom which service you would wish to use.

Share with us if you do have or use any other similar kind of services.
