• Mashup Makeover

  

  The “Personal Mashup Recorder�?Commendo’s Voyager™ service records for replay on the user’s PC, virtually all standard HTTP delivered content, including mashups or interactivity-enabling software (Flash, AJAX and JavaScript). Replaying mashups on the PC provides significant performance improvements to the user experience, while also making the mashups portable. This hands-on session will show how to use Commendo’s Voyager™ as a “Personal Mashup Recorder�? to record existing mashups, along with techniques and approaches which you can use to create new mashup categories. Three mashup types will be shown and discussed: Entertainment (Videos), Mapping, and Search/RSS. In addition you will learn how using existing debugging tools with recorded mashups can speed up development. Voyager processes mashups in parallel, and is multi-processor enabled, allowing mashups to take full advantage of today’s multi-core PCs. Mashup recording requires no changes to the underlying applications, the mashup code, or content conversion by the user. Download Voyager ™ to your Windows PC prior to the conference at www.commendo.com.

  Scraping is not a four letter word. In fact, the HTML/HTTP protocol is the easiest way to offer your users a great UI and your applications a useable API, all from the same code. Keep it simple, and you can build an API around any site. In this presentation you’ll learn how to build a scraping API with a few lines of code and a touch of style. You’ll see how simple it is to build a scrAPI for eBay and Amazon. And we’ll do it all using open source code.

• Mashups and Markets

  

  What do you do when the mash is through? As mashups gain in sophistication, sustaining the creator, developer, and user relationships necessary to promote, support, and enhance the mashup becomes more difficult, yet more critical to overall success. The promise of mashups cannot be fully realized without a simple transactional fabric for enfranchising highly complex work. This session presents a concept for using the power of markets to harness mashup efforts.

• Plaxo

  

  Nearly all new web applications have a strong social component: sharing content with your friends, growing by invitation, and building reputations and ratings. Unfortunately, this means that many services are asking their users to build and maintain yet-another-address-book on each site they visit. As a result, these address books are usually incomplete and quickly become out-of-date, which is bad for both the sites and their users. Plaxo has built a “smart address book�? that automatically stays in sync with the address books members already use—including Outlook, Mac, Thunderbird, AIM, and Yahoo. A few lines of JavaScript is all it takes to create a Plaxo mashup that lets people import and select contacts to be added in to their address books at any web site or application. Sites wishing for an even more integrated experience can implement Plaxo’s full REST-based sync and access APIs. In this session, we’ll talk about how to take advantage of Plaxo’s widgets and APIs, and I’ll discuss some of the underlying technology that makes these mashups possible.

• What can you do with Windows Live Messenger?

  

  Windows Live Messenger has a potential audience of 240 million users. This means great opportunities for both businesses (free API access, ad servers, pay-for-placement,) as well as hobbyists (interactive multi-user apps, DHTML and AJAX development.) With Internet Explorer now directly accessable in Windows Live Messenger, the aim is to create a user experience that is all about interactivity and engagement.
