Mashups Made Easy
By Joseph Hunkins at April 22, 2008 0 CommentsAt the recent Mashup Camp in Silicon Valley Intel showcased there new “Mashup Maker”, a browser extension that simplifies the process of mashing up websites, allowing users to create fairly complicated data structures without programming or any additional software.
Intel’s Mashmaker beta is now available to all, and since I have not had enough time to play with it feel free to review this program in the comments below if you have experience with this application.
Although Mashmaker appears to be geared more for users and small scale developers this approach to software is important to watch in even in the enterprise development space, where mashups are an increasingly important part of a solid online development strategy. Gone are the days when developers needed to work for days to interface their websites with other data sources. Now, from Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft mapping to currency conversion to real estate pricing it is easy to create and maintain extensive and robust online environments that use data from many sources in the context of your own website or web applications.
