Interested in learning how to develop mashups? Welcome to Mashup U. Online

My personal belief is that mashup style software development, as ecosytems go, will easily overtake most other software development ecosystems in number of developers and applications. To help acclerate that process, ZDNet, in conjunction with Mashup University (the event) now brings Mashup U directly to you, on your desktop at no cost to you.

There are a lot of different definitions of what a software mashup is (there are also other types of mashups, like music). But I stick to the one where the final piece of software is derived from the functionality and/or data of two or more disparate sources that have been woven together. In the press, the most often cited mashup is Adrian Holovatys chicagocrime.org which takes the Chicago Police Departments database of crimes (and their locations) and superimposes them onto Google Maps. Adrians mashup has got some incredible functionality built into the application. For example, you can narrow the view by zip code (eg: 60615), or by crime type (eg: kidnappings. Yes, they happen more often than you think).
