Mashups are hugely popular right now, a very important topic within the
general area of Web 2.0, involving technologies such as CSS, JavaScript,
Ajax, APIs, libraries, and server-side languages (such as PHP and
ASP.NET.) This book aims to be the definitive tome on Mashup
development, to stand in the middle of all the other, more API specific
books coming out on Google Maps, Flickr, etc.
The book shows you how to create real world Mashups using all the most
poplar APIs, such as Google Maps, Flickr, Amazon Web Services, and
delicious, and includes examples in multiple different server-side
languages, such as PHP, Java, and .NET. It will have a large target
audience, but still deliver an effective and engaging learning
experience, regardless of the specific technologies the reader prefers
to use.
