8. Remote Manager Scenario
Demo
Scenario
• I want to stay closer to a group of people that I remotely manage
• I call them every now and then
My goal
• I would like to “connect” with my sub-ordinates when I call them
My idea:
• Mash data from
• Twitter (to know what they are doing)
• MSN Weather (to know what is going on where they live)
• … to have a good ice breaker during the first moments of our calls
Three quick aspects of mashup creation:
• Connecting to external data (twitter.com, msn.weather.com)
• Connecting parts
• Using XSLT for map creation
