What is a Mashup?
Mashups: The new breed of Web app
Mashups are an exciting genre of interactive Web applications that draw upon content retrieved from external data sources to create entirely new and innovative services.

This introductory article explores what it means to be a mashup, the different classes of popular mashups constructed today, and the enabling technologies that mashup developers leverage to create their applications. Additionally, you'll see many of the emerging technical and social challenges that mashup developers face.

Mashup Space Overview

Description: This Mashup space consolidates information regarding mashup makers and utilities to create situational applications. A mashup maker is an assembly tool where a creator of a mashup leverages software components or services made available by content providers. The user of the mashup maker can be a line-of-business user wanting to create an application that is “good enough” to satisfy an immediate, short-term need. This mashups space supplies information about Mashup utilities such as IBM Mashup Center.

Objective: To provide developers and Line-of-Business owners a central site in which news, information, tutorials, and discussion is available about "mashups" and the mashup ecosystem. To provide a community for individuals who are interested in mashup related technologies.

Audience: Developers, line-of-business users, managers, application developers, and web programmers.
