Enterprise 2.0 and Data Mashups: Bridging the Information Gap

The session will focus on tips and best practices and also highlight the major challenges preventing mashup design tools from being implemented across the enterprise sector.

After attending this session, you will:

1.   Understand the impact of data mashups on the developer community
2.   Learn how to select mashup technologies and tools for your data integration projects
3.   Discover tips, best practices, and strategies for leveraging these tools and solving the most common mashup challenges

Speaker quote

“As the momentum for the new class of SOA middleware continues to grow, enterprise developers are looking for simple yet scalable solutions that can integrate disparate data across a variety of on-premises and on-demand systems and applications,” said Renat Khasanshyn. “With many of such data integration problems being relatively small in scope, companies can't justify bringing in expensive middleware. I’ll be happy to introduce the open source solutions that bring the ease of drag-and-drop data mashup tools to Dr. Dobb's Architecture & Design World attendees.”
