Uncovering the Mashup Potential of Web Sites

Abstract

In the previous chapter, you studied several examples of mashups in depth. With the goal of learning how to create your own mashups, you’ll turn now to the raw ingredients of mashups—individual web sites and web applications. Although the focus of this book is on public web application programming interfaces (APIs), you’ll first study the human user interface (UI) of web sites for their mashup potential.
