Google Releases Open Source JavaScript Tools

Dan Jones writes "Google has open sourced several of its key JavaScript application development tools, hoping that they will prove useful for external programmers to build faster Web applications. According to Google, by enabling and allowing developers to use the same tools that Google uses, they can not only build rich applications but also make the Web really fast. The Closure JavaScript compiler and library are used as the standard Javascript library for pretty much any large, public Web application that Google is serving today, including some of its most popular Web applications, including Gmail, Google Docs and Google Maps. Google has also released Closure Templates which are designed to automate the dynamic creation of HTML. The announcement comes a few months after Google released and open sourced the NX server."pa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/09/11/05/2311241/Google-Releases-Open-Source-JavaScript-Tools?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/11/05/2311241"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/09/11/05/2311241/Google-Releases-Open-Source-JavaScript-Tools?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./ppa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/9wGgWR_7JW26vF-2rUCLvqocgds/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/9wGgWR_7JW26vF-2rUCLvqocgds/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/9wGgWR_7JW26vF-2rUCLvqocgds/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/9wGgWR_7JW26vF-2rUCLvqocgds/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/m7VDoaQ-wDk" height="1" width="1"/
