Google Apps Marketplace

Introduction

Google Apps has a marketplace which hosts apps (not to be confused by Google App Engine). That means you can develop applications that sit on top of Google Apps like Gmail, Docs etc.. The real implication of this is that it converts Google Apps to a platform for development, opening the doors for interesting applications. Everything from Business apps to simple ToDo lists are now on Chrome and can be tied to Google Drive.

Development

The starting point for development on Google Apps is https://developers.google.com/google-apps/. The only weird thing is the $5 upfront payment in order to start developing. After that, its similar to developing a Chrome extension or an App.
