One of the iPhone's limitations is that 3rd party apps don't have
access to the iPhone's calendar contents using the iPhone SDK.  By
using the Google Data APIs and Google Sync, you can now bridge that
gap!  In this presentation, Dan will show how to use Google's
Objective-C client libraries to create, retrieve, update and delete
iPhone calendar events.  His open source code for this demo is
available at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-gcal.

If time allows, he will also demonstrate how to use the Google
Spreadsheets as a database in the cloud in your apps, whose web
interface is then easily embeddable into websites.  You can see an
example of this at http://square-master.googlemashups.com, which shows
his iPhone game's leaderboard.

Dan (http://www.DanBourque.com) is a technical leader at Cisco and is
the creator of the Square Master iPhone game
(http://info.SquareMasters.com).
