Marco Casario | RIAvolutionize the web: Mash-up widgets with Adobe AIR at Flash on the Beach

I've decided the title and content of my session that I'll present at Flash on The Beach :

The "mash up" term was initially referred to the music field and represented the act of producing a new sound by mixing two or more existing pieces together.
In the web field, a mash up is an application that combines data from two or more sources into a single integrated tool.
A mash-up application traditionally runs in a client web browser. By using Adobe AIR you can now easily port your mash up applications outside the web browser and the sandbox security restrictions onto the desktop.
A simple mash-up application can leverage the Adobe AIR APIs to save your Flickr's favourite images locally, capture a frame image from a YouTube video, or storing the history of your Twitter messages in a local database .

In this session you'll learn how to set up your application to consume some of the most popular web services to make your AIR desktop applications sexy and to provide useful functionalities to end users.
See you there !
