Integrating Google Docs with my application
I was able to successfully integrate Google Spreadsheets into my website. This gives my users an online spreadsheet experience they had been asking for a long time. It helps them work offline on MS-Excel and then be able to share it online. Google Spreadhseets integration has had some challenges, but eventually I was able to do it. The main issue that I faced was figuring out which API to use, whether to use the Docs API or to utilize the Spreadsheet APIs. Eventually I figured out where to use what. Also a big missing feature in the APIs is the ability to publish the speadsheet programmatically. Wish that the Google team includes this feature quickly.

Ashish,
You can go through my posts on July 22nd and 23rd to get a detailed description on Google Docs integration.
Hey just need to ask one thing. Have u implemented push notifications in the spreadsheet. Suppose your document is shared with some users and one of them modifies it, do u get notified immediately via push in that?
