Just to say: I have a follow-up post nearly complete that includes code snippets in JS + Python (I may be borrowing from Friedrich here). I'd love Java one too though my Java is *very* rusty.

I was going to draft these as gists and any contributions would be very welcome. As an example here's the simple JS gist:

If anyone has ever wanted to know how to convert simple place names in a spreadsheet to lat and long values so that they can put their data on a map, Rufus Pollock has just put up a couple of tutorials on the School of Data blog.
