What’s big and blue and growing all the time?
If you guessed Box.net’s developer source code widget, you are correct!

PHP5 Library and Example App

First up on today’s menu is a library and example application for PHP5.

We took a medium-size Box.net integrated web app of over 600 lines, and reduced it to under 100 very prose-like lines of useful code.

It’s open source, so if you’d like to make a change (or you have questions) e-mail James at Box.net.

Python (Conduit Project Source Code!)

We hear Python is pretty delicious, especially with some framework on the side.

Unfortunately, there are no seasoned Python chefs on the Box team.

But our open-source developer community is showing us some love in the form of a Python binder class.

The Python code is from John Stowers at the Conduit Project.

Conduit is a total synchronization solution for GNOME desktops on *nix systems.

By storing your files in a Box account, Conduit lets you backup photos, files, and e-mails, transfer between computers, or even transfer from computer to mobile devices.

A new version of Conduit was released this week, so if you’re running *nix on your Box, check it out at conduit-project.org.

Conduit is open-source and has its own API which in turn interfaces with the Box API.

We think that’s a neat idea. In fact, if you can think of a good API for Box to interface with, e-mail James at Box and let it out.

If you’re not already subscribed to the blog, now would be a good time to do so. We’ll keep the tasty morsels coming.

Bon Appetit!

James
