Foundations of Popfly

"When Microsoft introduced Popfly, the intention was to make creating mashups easy for anybody. Mashups allow you to integrate products and services from Web 2.0 giants like Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft: you can take data from one, such as an event listing showing when your favorite bands are playing, and feed that into another service to display those events' locations on a map." "This book will take you from your first steps in Microsoft Popfly all the way up to building your own blocks for creating new mashups and sharing them with the entire Popfly community. You'll start by simply connecting blocks to create an RSS news reader without typing a single line of code. Next, you'll delve deeper into the code using either the Popfly block creator or Visual Web Developer to create your own block that can search using keywords and integrate with existing blocks to display the results."--BOOK JACKET.Griffin, Eric is the author of 'Foundations of Popfly', published 2008 under ISBN 9781590599518 and ISBN 1590599519.
