Foundations of Popfly: Rapid Mashup Development
Mashups are big; everybody and their dog are creating new and interesting ways of combining information on the Web. But if all the talk of APIs and complex code leaves you cold, you’ll be pleased to meet Microsoft Popfly. Popfly was created as a tool for designers to build mashups in a visual manner, rapidly, without needing to know any code. By simply dragging out “blocks” that represent services such as Flickr onto your workspace and then drawing connection lines between them, you can create a mashup. It’s as easy as that!
Get Popfly and Silverlight up and running on your computer, and then learn how to use the Popfly Mashup Creator and Popfly Web Page Creator to share your mashups with the world. Author Eric Griffin will introduce you to Popfly and show you everything you need to start creating your own hybrid web applications.
- Build mashups visually without the need to know any code.
- Leverage technologies such as Flickr and Google Maps.
- Save your creation as a Vista Sidebar Gadget.
