The start of my weekly updates

I'll be consistently updating this blog every thursday. However, if there are any issues or if i've read something interesting then i'll be posting those up as well.

So far;

- 25/07/08 Meeting Minutes have been updated and uploaded
- Project Plan completed and submitted

- Java EE SDK 5.0 and Netbeans IDE 6.1 have been installed on my laptop so implementation is good to go

- I have decided and started implementing the Google AJAX Search API into a basic web application first as Google seems to be the most popular search engine atm (with good reason as well, due to search algorithms and search tools)

Something to note is that Java can be used in conjunction with Google. However, to make a request to the Google AJAX Search API, the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) library must be used as the API will return JSON encoded results.
