Mashups are big; everybody and their dog are creating new and
interesting ways of combining information on the Web. But if all
the talk of APIs and complex code leaves you cold, you'll be
pleased to meet Microsoft Popfly. Popfly was created as a tool for
designers to build mashups in a visual manner, rapidly, without
needing to know any code. By simply dragging out blocks that
represent services such as Flickr onto your workspace and then
drawing connection lines between them, you can create a mashup.
It's as easy as that Get Popfly and Silverlight up and running on
your computer, and then learn how to use the Popfly Mashup Creator
and Popfly Web Page Creator to share your mashups with the world.
