Dear Friends, I am helping the computer science students at Assam Engineering College, in Assam (India), in organising a 3-day workshop on web technology to be held on February 18-20 next. We have got facilitators from Sree's office: Mahiti.org. A mutual friend from Colorado agreed to come online and do a Speed Geeking. We need more Speed Geeking (via Skype, etc., 5-7 mins + time for Q&A). The presentations (English only) may be of anything around your work, project -- anything around the computers/Free software/Mashup ideas. Please feel free to boast your achievements, experiences - beautiful images, short video clips may be added. Please send me your speed geeing topics/ideas now. Please feel free to mail me with your queries. A certificate of participation will be sent to the speed geekers. We are also trying to get fastest possible Internet to webcast the event. With regards, Babul Gogoi Skype: bgogoi Mobile: +91-9013772739 / +91-9613222362 http://www.twitter.com/bgogoi
> WORKSHOP TOPIC: MASHUP - HYBRID WEB TECHNOLOGY> Assam engineering College, > 18-20 February > > In web development, a mashup is a web page or application that uses > and combines data, presentation or functionality from two or more > sources to create new services. > > The term implies easy, fast integration, frequently using open APIs > (an interface implemented by a software program that enables it to > interact with other software) and data sources to produce enriched > results that were not necessarily the original reason for producing > the raw source data. > > The main characteristics of the mashup are combination, visualization, > and aggregation. Mashup is important to make existing data more > useful, moreover for personal and professional use. > > In the past years, more and more Web applications have published APIs > that enable software developers to easily integrate data and functions > instead of building them by themselves. Mashups can be considered to > have an active role in the evolution of social software and Web 2.0. > Mashups composition tools are usually simple enough to be used by > end-users. They generally do not require programming skills, they > rather support visual wiring of GUI widgets, services and components > together. Therefore, these tools contribute to a new vision of the > Web, where users are able to contribute. > > The term mashup is also used to describe a remix of digital data. > > Please download the registration form attached with this email or > download at www.absolvo.org and send the completed form to > [email protected] or [email protected].
