Amazon.com Mashups (with source code)

This book is all about how to take data from disparate sources on the Web and combine that data to make new and innovative applications (affectionately called mashups). The Internet is at an inflection point, and all across the Web, more and more sites are exposing their data through Web services and eXtensible Markup Language (XML).

This is great news, because it means you as the developer can now build much more sophisticated applications that previously either would not have been possible, or would have required hundreds of developers to create. This book shows you how to take advantage of these data sources, and combine them to form new and never-before imagined applications.

This book is aimed at programmers. Not just server-side gals or user interface guys, I’m talking about the soup-to-nuts programmer. As you’ll see, between messaging, presentation, server-side scripting, and so on, there are a lot of moving parts with any given mashup. Some basic understanding of Web and server technologies is expected. If you’re up to speed on XML, Web services, Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML), JavaScript, and ASP.NET, then you should have no problems. If not, don’t worry. Everything in the book is explained in detail, and because source code is supplied, you should be able to leverage this text regardless of your experience level.
