Free as in Webinar

If you've been meaning to read up on what Mashups are and what they can do for you, have information available as web services, feed and pages and want a way to put it all together in more useful ways or simply love JavaScript and would like to use it for more than just building web pages, I'm about to tell you how you can learn everything you want to know and for free!

Jonathan Marsh, our Director of Mashup Technologies is running a webinar on the 13th of May and all you have to do is register yourself as a participant. Since it's free, just like our Mashup Server, you have the opportunity to learn what Mashups can do for you, try creating a mashup or two on our community site and then download and install a server on your local system once you get serious.

Of course you could take the other approach; download and try out the server first and learn how to do things better at the webinar! Since the product is pretty easy to install and writing a 'Hello World' Mashup takes just two clicks, this would be a better approach if you can spare some time up front.

Oh yes, if you do need more reasons why you should attend the webinar and learn about our server, Jonathan's also blogged about the Gartner 'Cool' report that I mentioned in my last post, as have Keith, Glen and Daniel.

See you next Tuesday!

Certified Cool!

Yes, we are officially cool! I've been telling everybody that WSO2 is cool and so is our Mashup Server, but if you don't want to just take my word for it, Gartner's report on Cool Vendors in Web Technologies, 2008 lists WSO2 as one and feels the Mashup Server may be our most interesting offering!

You can read Sanjiva's blog and Paul's for more details, but I'm afraid if you want to read the full text, you'll have to buy the report or get a subscription!
