© 2012 IBM Corporation Mashup  A hybrid application that combines content from more than one source.  Very popular Web 2.0 idea  Mash-up (you can use a hyphen if you want)  The real power in Web services comes from combining  Web services are typically specialized, mashups are “situational”  Development without central authority

© 2012 IBM Corporation Suggested Approach  Environment setup  Service discovery  Your Mashup or Open Application Concept  Design / Storyboard  Component Level Design  Implementation  Test  Code Inspection  Deployment (Go Live)‏

© 2012 IBM Corporation You can make a difference, too : Clever Example #1  Create Your Own SW Hack of Kindness Project  Random Hacks of Kindness  Sample project : Coordinate “Coordinate is a simple mobile app and database that allows emergency response officials to plot hazards in an accurate and structured manner. It allows an EOC and other response agencies to receive validated reports from responders out in the disaster area. Information can be updated out in the disaster area allowing for a better common operating picture of what hazards still need to be resolved. “
