del.icio.us Mashups

del.icio.us has fast become part of the heartbeat
of the Web, giving millions of Web users,
both casual and hardcore, an online social network
in which to collect, organize, and share their
favorite web resources. Using a hidden underlayer of
tools offered by del.icio.us, you now have the
potential to tap into this social network and
its rich data in order to expand your
own website and applications to a whole new
array of possibilities.
This book will help you make
the most of these possibilities by mixing your
data & applications with other web services, and
using your own innovative ideas to create something
useful, unique, and perhaps even fun.
Brett O'Connor guides
you deep inside the del.icio.us API, and presents
you with a variety of mashup fundamentals such
as REST, XML, and Ajax. He shows you
how to find & use the best technologies
and techniques so that you can create your
own robust mashups and remixes with the del.icio.us
API and its data. Integrated through the pages
you will find real world examples that demonstrate
how to apply this information when building your
own cutting edge website.
