Title:

Kick-Ass Mash-Ups with Punk Rock APIs

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Kent Brewster, Yahoo, Inc.
Description:
Tired of re-inventing the wheel? Wish there was a single grand unified API layer over everything? In this panel we'll gather data from a dozen different popular sites and services and present it all under a single API, using nothing but stone knives, bear skins, free online tools, and client-side JavaScript.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What's a mash-up?
  2. What's an API?
  3. How can I create a mash-up if the site doesn't have an API?
  4. Wait ... wait ... what? How can I make my own API?
  5. Some of my providers already have APIs. Why wouldn't I just use them?
  6. How can I make mash-ups that impact my data providers the least?
  7. What are some of the common pitfalls of API creation, and how can I avoid them?
  8. How can I make my mash-up run entirely in the client's browser?
  9. This sounds too good to be true ... what are some of the pitfalls and gotchas, please?
  10. How can I best use my new-found powers of API creation to do the most good for the most people?

I always love Kent's way of explaining complex things in easy "plain English" with lots of clever humor. 5 stars.
