Web 2.0: Web Services Mesh-up [Hardcover]

Alexander Peter (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 15, 2005

One of the hottest trends in Web 2.0 is the development of mash-ups. The term mash-up originated in the music world -- a music mash-up is a remix of two or more songs to create a new song. Similar to music mash-ups, a Web application mash-up combines complementary functionality from multiple Web sites or Web applications, e.g., combining Google Maps with Craigslist apartment listings so that you can find all apartments for rent in a particular neighborhood.

Developers have created mash-ups using Web services and RSS/ATOM feeds from several popular Web sites including Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, FlickR and many others. This book provides loads of new programming methods, tools, code samples and more as the world of mash-ups explodes.
