Introducing Picasa Flex API

Google Picasa is a very interesting service which I use and like very much! I have tons of pictures uploaded there. Service gives me an opportunity to share many pictures with rest of the world. It is easy to use and maintain. Desktop application Picasa offers many cool features and innovative design. Despite my great love with Picasa there is a couple things I would like to fix - first Google Picasa Look and Feel - you cannot change anything, whatever Google provide you need to use. But Google has great Google Data API which allowspeople to work with Google services directly via HTTP using feeds. I decided to create API which allow user to work with GDAPI and in same time uses great design features of the Adobe Flex.

That is how PicasaFlexAPI was born.
So What is PicasaFlexAPI ? Picasa Flex API is an easy way to access your images posted to Google Picasa from Flex Application. The library containing a set of Wrappers, DataProviders? and Helpers allowing user to build application which can work directly with Google Data API feeds.
