"Ubuntu One is not just a collection of services for Ubuntu, it's a platform that you can build your own services on. In this talk, Stuart Langridge explains some of the APIs that Ubuntu One offers to developers, what they do, and how you can make use of them. You'll see some examples of applications you might want to build that take advantage of data storage in the cloud and automatically-synchronised database backing for your apps, and you'll get a glimpse of how to build programs to help people work collaboratively through Ubuntu One both on the desktop and on the web."
