Creating applications from reusable chunks of UI isn't a
new idea, "Portals", "Dashboards", and "My "
have been around for over a decade. Developers should already have
made the shift from thinking about their UI as stand alone
"Applications" and started thinking of UI as "Componentized Units of
Work". The problem in the past is that most of the "Portal" or
"Dashboard" frameworks were proprietary or worked with difficult
specifications like JSR-168 or WSRP. OpenSocial is more than just a
way to have mafia wars with your friends who aren't on Facebook.
With the introduction OpenSocial gadgets it is getting easier and
easier to create these UI components and as we see OpenSocial moving
into the enterprise these "Componentized Units of Work" can run in
more and more places. So poke your friends, chuck some sheep and
come to this presentation to learn how OpenSocial can help you
create reusable application components and surface them in multiple
containers.
