W Eb 2.0 Mashups CYAN YELLOW MAGENTA BLACK PANTONE 123 C BOOKS FOR PROFESSIONALS BY PROFESSIONALS® THE EXPERT’S VOICE® IN WEB DEVELOPMENT Companion eBook Available Pro Web 2.0 Mashups: Remixing Data and Web Services Pro Dear Reader, Web 2.0 Mashups Web The Web contains thousands of mashups that recombine everything including Pro Google Maps, Flickr, Amazon.com, NASA, the New York Times, and Wikipedia with useful information about travel, finance, real estate, and more. By fusing elements from multiple web sites, mashups are often informative, useful, fun, and even transformative. Mashups also represent the way the Web as a whole is heading. By reading this book and working through the examples, you will learn how to create your own mashups; how to exploit such web elements as URLs, tags, and RSS feeds in your mashups; and how to combine APIs and data into mashups. Web 2.0 All you need to make full use of this book is basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and at least one server-side language (such as PHP, ASP.NET, or Python). By the time you’re finished, you will be able to take almost any source of data on the Web and mash it up with another to create unique and exciting sites of your own. This book draws from my experiences teaching graduate students and high- school students how to create mashups. I describe techniques to analyze and dissect existing mashups so that you can start from first principles, gaining the Mashups skills you need to write your own. Believe me, once you start creating mashups and seeing what you can do with them, you won’t want to stop.

  • Integrating with Blogs
    CHAPTER 5 Integrating with Blogs Blogs (also known as weblogs) have become lightweight, general-purpose platforms for publication, self-expression, and collaboration. Bloggers push the limits of new-media production, especially in the area of integration, because they want ultimately to discuss anything they can see or think or hear—without any effort, of course. Because you can directly tie blogs in with other systems—often without any programming on your own part—you’ll now study how to combine blogs with other applications and data sources. In this chapter, I cover end-user functionality that lets you publish content to a blog from a web site or a desktop application. In Chapter 7, you’ll study how you can program the relevant web APIs to read and publish blog content. I close this chapter by applying lessons from blog integration to wikis, which I believe are ripe for a similar type of remixing. In this chapter, you will do the following: * You’ll learn how to configure your WordPress or Blogger blog to receive pictures from Flickr through Flickr’s Blog This button. * You’ll study the mechanisms behind blog integration by studying how it’s done with Flickr. * You’ll learn how to use a desktop blogging client to take advantage of a richer writing environment for blogging. * You’ll see how the combination of syndication feeds and blogging can be recursive (that is, how content from blogs can be refashioned into new blog entries). * You’ll experience the forward-looking social browser integration of Flock, which combines a Web browser, Flickr photos, and blogging all in one user interface.

LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.
