Google API

Hello warriors,

I want to start online development using vb.net. I found old tutorials online showing how to use the Google API, BUT since I see everything has changed.

Google now has many API's, which one should I start out with?

I want to start build simple applications that get data from the normal search engine, or get spell checks from Google etc

    There are so many ways to achieve this and that is part of the problem, which do you choose? A fun way to start is with soap and wsdl, a quick search will locate plenty of tutorials and useful examples to get you started:

      Unless you already have a Search API key, you won't be able to get a new one. So you may want to try something else.

    I'm with Martyn - when in doubt google a tutorial or go staright to You-tube.
    Good luck,

    Don't use SOAP as it's been depreciated. You'll have to use the Ajax Goolge API's, which should not be "to" hard to deal with in VB.net. You'll need to decode JSON in VB. You can parse it yourself, or find a JSON parser for VB.net. (I have "NO" experience with VB.net, but experience with Google's API's)
