This chapter discussed the various methods of sharing and publishing a Google Visualization API application. Not only are the methods presented here applicable to Visualization API applications, but they can also be applied to other Google API-based applications. The Google Gadget publishing option was intentionally not covered in this chapter due to the uncertain future of the service. Additional information on Google Gadgets and the Gadgets API can be found at the following link:

Overall, the Google Visualization API can be thought of as a "gateway" to learning all other Google APIs. It is simple enough for beginners, but can be used as part of more complex application design. The intention of this book has been to teach the breadth of possibilities of the Visualization API, while preparing the reader to engage more deeply with the Google development environment. As is true with all technology, particular details of visualization techniques may change. Yet, the methodology of learning how to interpret and apply the programmatic methods on which the Visualization API has been built is invaluable.
