KAPOW - Create APIS from HTML Sites (new)

Easily one of the coolest technologies that I saw this morning at MashupU was Kapow. I sat down and wrote a Flex app with Andreas Krohn of Kapow and I walked away impressed.

Mashup University - Introducing Apollo (new)

I presented Apollo at Mashup University at MIT today. I covered a mindmap that I made on Apollo, created simple apps in Flex and Apollo live, and ran some demos apps in 40 minutes.
