Enterprise Mashups are important since they bridge a void between the web and the enterprise behind the firewall. They break down traditional barriers around data and open up powerful new ways for enterprises to leverage the web as a platform. This session will introduce some mashup concepts, discuss a number of software patterns and describe ways in which enterprises could do more with their applications, and provide a good grounding and practical knowledge about the emerging trend of Enterprise Mashups and how they might apply to the enterprise.

As the barriers break down developers should have an understanding of the implications and how the pieces fit together. Attendees will learn what enterprise mashups are, what they are not, and get to know some mashup patterns.
