Web2.0 applications, such as Flickr, del.icio.us and Upcoming.org are getting more popular among web applications today. They often expose APIs that allow developers to build mashups, which combine various Web service for a greater good! These Web services not only return XML, but some also support formats like RSS, JSON and serialized PHP. In this talk, Dan Theurer will discuss the different formats, sources, and technologies that power today's mashups. He will give a quick overview of the various Web services and AJAX toolkits offered by the Yahoo! Developer Network, and show the audience how they can put the different pieces together to create their own mashup.
