Distributed computing - where data is consumed from external Web sites, sometimes 'mashed', or displayed in some other way on your own site, has become a powerful way of providing functionality, and requires little or no financial outlay or technical understanding. This workshop will look at some of the services available and examine some of the ways that they can be combined or otherwise used on your site and for prototype development.
