Books mark mashups as medicine for enterprises

By Jeff Feinman

June 18, 2009 — (Page 1 of 3)
Two authors are separately attempting to show how to maximize the benefits of mashups in the enterprise.

Michael Ogrinz wrote “Mashup Patterns: Designs and Examples for the Modern Enterprise” in order to come up with generic, reusable patterns for creating mashups.

In similar fashion, “Mashups: Strategies for the Modern Enterprise,” by J. Jeffrey Hanson, tries to point out how to implement proper security, since mashups bring in data from so many different places. Both authors promoted mashups as a legitimate way to remedy many types of business problems.

Ogrinz’s book lays out five main categories for mashup patterns: harvest, enhance, assemble, manage and test.

The harvest category deals with mining one or more resources for data, creating APIs to turn static resources into dynamic data sources, and using mashups to store information at regular intervals as a way to observe trends.

The enhance category shows how to extend the capabilities of existing resources by showing such things as how to provide temporary patches when a problem can’t be fixed directly, or to pass content through a service to convert it to a different spoken language.

The assemble category shows methods of remixing existing data to carry out different tasks, while the manage category is about how to migrate and manage mashups within new environments and using widgets to distribute mashups to popular platforms.

Finally, the test category is about verifying application performance and running multiple mashups simultaneously to simulate the activities of hundreds of users, which Ogrinz said can help in load and stress testing.

For each pattern, the book first explains the necessary activities to implement the mashup. It then provides a sample problem, followed by a solution that describes how the mashup can fix the problem. Ogrinz said the book is tool-agnostic.

“I think what we really need is to approach mashups from the top,” Ogrinz said, “getting business leaders and technology leaders realizing this technology can help them still be productive in times of shrinking budgets and shrinking manpower.”

From the Editors: Clouds and mashups Internet development, in the form of cloud computing and mashups, is the big story from the past year.

Mashups are poised for a business outbreak IBM, JackBe and Serena say that mashups are gaining momentum in the enterprise. Meanwhile, a Forrester analyst says business mashup adoption is currently thin, but it will pick up in the next year.

Sure mashups are fun, but are they secure? IBM has developed a new technology for enterprises that secures data used by mashups.
