Pro Web 2.0 Mashups: Remixing Data and Web Services
Mashups are one of the key elements of the Web 2.0 phenomenon, involving technologies such as CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, APIs, libraries, and server-side languages such as Java, PHP and ASP.NET. These mashups epitomize modern web development techniques - reusing data and code that others have provided to put together complex applications quickly and easily
This book will be the definitive tome on mashup development, to stand in the middle of the other, more API -specific books.
Pro Web 2.0 Mashups shows you how to create real world mashups using all the most popular APIs, such as Google Maps, Flickr, Amazon Web Services, and del.icio.us. Examples will be provided in multiple server-side languages, including PHP, Java, and .NET. The book provides an overview of mashups, including the technologies involved, and the tools available to create them, before looking in detail at the different types of mashup that can be created, including maps, search mashups and image mashups, Numerous examples are offered of both existing mashups, and ones you can build yourself via step by step tutorials.
