| Description | Have you ever wanted to capture your project management or time entry data from Basecamp within an invoicing application like Freshbooks, or perhaps a customer relationship management tool like Salesforce.com? Maybe you want your WordPress traffic to publish to multiple analytics systems at the same time, update your Google calendar from your online to-do list app or have Craigslist send you a direct message on Twitter the moment the that first edition of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” shows up? In this session, the presenters will give you a crash course on how simple it is to leverage data from web applications and have them do your bidding. There is not a single web application out there that can do everything. In fact, we believe each one should focus on doing what they were intended and performing those functions extremely well. This session will not only discuss technologies including REST and SOAP APIs, webhooks, microformats, data portability, and JSON/XML data, but also demonstrate how you can connect any number of web based applications together and get them talking with one another with real-world examples. |
