Thanks Trevor for the reply ... The concern i have is the API pulling data from a user's Google Calendar account. We do not want that ..... The idea is to have google calendar like interface to display data specific to our application. Users logging into our application might not even have a gmail account or if even if they do the idea is not to have their google calendar details imported for display.
Google Calendar API does support creating a new calendar, creating new events, update/deleting the events but for a new Calendar, when a new event entry is created where will that be stored ? On the google server other than having the details of that event in our application's DB ? We do not want our applications data to go public. Calendar Visualization (CalVis) also i guess aims to present data from Google Calendar account but with customizable user interface (UI) feature.
