Topic: A Gentle Introduction to Web Mashups and Remixing Your Digital Information

How often do you wish that you can make all the different parts of your digital world — your email, your word processor documents, your photos, your search results, your maps, your presentations — work together more seamlessly? In fact, below the surface, all the data, websites, and applications you use do fit together. This talk introduces you how to forge those latent connections by creating your own mashups. A mashup — in the words of the Wikipedia — is a "website or web application that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience." We will look at several concrete examples of mashups (for instance how to program your own Google map) and lay out the first steps to making your own mashups.

Presented by Raymond Yee, Ph.D., Lecturer UC Berkeley School of Information.
