Mashup Space Overview

Description: This Mashup space consolidates information regarding mashup makers and utilities to create situational applications. A mashup maker is an assembly tool where a creator of a mashup leverages software components or services made available by content providers. The user of the mashup maker can be a line-of-business user wanting to create an application that is “good enough” to satisfy an immediate, short-term need. This mashups space supplies information about Mashup utilities such as IBM Mashup Center.

Objective: To provide developers and Line-of-Business owners a central site in which news, information, tutorials, and discussion is available about "mashups" and the mashup ecosystem. To provide a community for individuals who are interested in mashup related technologies.

Audience: Developers, line-of-business users, managers, application developers, and web programmers.
