Gopal Venkatesan from Yahoo introduces Yahoo's Developer Network and YQL tool. YQL allows users to query APIs and transform data formats like RSS to JSON. He demonstrates how to use YQL to retrieve RSS feeds in JSON format. Venkatesan then discusses Yahoo Mail applications, which allow developers to build apps that customize the Yahoo Mail interface and integrate external services. He shows a sample app that enhances email orders. Venkatesan encourages attendees to use the Yahoo Mail development tools and resources to build their own apps.
