First of all, I didn’t know that our Ajaxian Dion belongs to Gears team. Great to know as it would be easy to send suggestions to Dion then contacting Google directly.

Back to the topic, Thanks for sharing this piece Dion and offcourse thanking Omar for sharing this piece.

Since omar has ported his application on many google products and Twitter. It would be nice if he comes up with a FireFox extension as well. :)

Off topic: is it not possible to cache/store parts of Google maps for offline browsing?

…these case studies are my favorite. Packed full of the thought processes that went into a development team’s decisions, along with technical details of pulling it off. No matter what your experience level, there is no better way to learn than this, nor no better way for the community to push forward with this kind of knowledge sharing. Hats off, Omar Kilani, RTM and Ajaxians for the great info.

Well, Omar contacted me (partially because of my previous comment) and wanted me to set the record straight: He’s not that famous. Also, he trotted out that old excuses of a computer upgrade and a weird adium configuration and the fact that he’s in a timezone half a world away for being incommunicado.

Also, I have a confirmed rumor that RTM WILL NOT be ported to Silverlight.

Omar is one of the smartest guys I know and always has valuable insights, but since RTM became well known, he doesn’t answer my IMs anymore. :(
