Promiscuous Drupal: Building Your Site With Web APIs
Abstract:
Whether it's a sidebar with Flickr photos or a shopping cart powered by Amazon, more and more of your site's features can be provided by other sites' Web 2.0 APIs. This session will cover strategies for building service driven sites, and best practices for exposing external web services to Drupal.
One Lucky Attendee will receive a free novelty Drupal module.
Presenters:

- Choosing your strategy: Link, Aggregate, or Absorb
- A roundup of existing integration modules
