July 9th, 2008Reporting on Mashed08.

As some of you know, we at SocioApps attended the Beeb’s Mashed08 event held on the 22nd of June. Here a composition of reporting on the event.

How did it go?

In all we attended a few talks that we found promising. A list of all the talks are here .

Yahoo YUI

We got an insider’s look courtesy of Yahoo’s Chris Heilman (below) on what the YUI library is all about. Something we are looking to integrate into a few Django applications we are developing. Enjoy the video.

BBC iPlayer – under the hood

What was particularly encouraging about this is the dependence on Open Standards. We had the feel that the beeb is prepping this service for an API (which would be very good news indeed). We also got a feel for the dev process and resources they had in place. Increasing accessibility seems to be their mantra right now and they’ll be rolling out some upgrades to the service over the next few weeks. With some new atom feeds thrown into the mix as well.

The winning hack.

A collation of everything at Mashed can he found here but enjoy the winning hack below.

Until the next Mashed…....
