Introduction

The Federal Mashup Workshop is a follow-on event to the Federal Mashup Day. During this workshop, you will be able to apply what you have learned during the Federal Mashup Day through a series of hands-on labs.

Learn how to easily unlock and tap into information from a wide range of sources. Simply point-and-click to dynamically assemble new applications using feeds and widgets. Learn how mashups can revolutionize how applications are built and deployed by both non-technical and IT users.
