Lyle Johnson just wrote a great tutorial on how to integrate Google Charts into an FXRuby application. This is perfect timing since I’ve been doing some experimenting with FXRuby over the past few days.

Google quietly released their new chart generation web service late last year. It’s a dead simple way to build beautiful charts using nothing but URLs. The gchartrb gem wraps Google’s API to make things even easier. InfoQ recently published this article that I wrote. It introduces the basics of the API and gives some examples of how to use gchartrb to create beautiful charts.

PersistJS was released just a few days ago by Paul Duncan. It’s a JavaScript framework enabling client-side data storage. Check out my post on InfoQ to learn how it compares with Google Gears and Dojo Storage.
