Institutional Web Management Workshop 2010

Parallel Session A7: FlashMash

Title:
A7: FlashMash or "Flash, I love you, but we only have 90 minutes to build a mashup"
Session Tag:
#A7
Time:
Monday 12th July 2010 16:00-17:30
Facilitator:
Owen Stephens, Consultant.
Abstract:
Suitable for all levels of experience, this hands-on session will involve all participants in building a mashup which merges two or more sets of information already available on the web. Whether you can contribute as an expert user, a designer, or a developer, you can help decide what we build by participating in online discussions beforehand, and contribute to the process on the day. By the end of 90 minutes we will (believe it or not) have a working mashup demonstrating how easy it is to 'just do it'.
