Google development Kit

Hey dont be afraid. It didn't hit the market yet. But it is really not very far from that. Since google is becoming the largest provider of software(!) as a service. So days are not very far from now when instead of using JDK or .NET SDK or any other Software development kit, you will be using GDK (!). The speciality of GDK would be to use the cloud architecture. Like when you use java.util.arraylist.sort(), it runs on your own machine or in your own server. But in GDK it may call an api to sort which will reside anywhere in the Google infrastructure. Array sort may seem pretty ambitious. Because in this case you need to handle a lot of data back and forth. But computationally expensive jobs can be done in this manner. Like data visualizations. Google has released their open visualization API. Of course there will be always flexibility to work on your own hardware. There is already more than 40 API in the google code and lot more are waiting in the lab. Even you can have an IDE to play with this APIs. So days are coming when web based development kits will run the market.
