Mashups in Presto Wires

Presto Wires gives you an easy, graphic way to find information within your organization or from outside sources and combine or transform it in a mashup. Your information sources include Presto services and mashups or public resources accessible on the Internet.

Wires lets you drag information sources as simple, graphic blocks, add action blocks to transform information and connect blocks with "wires" to create a mashup for your use or for other users. You quickly create basic mashups.

Mashups combine and transform the information, but don't let you see the information or share it easily. Mashlets let you view service or mashup results in different formats and easily add these views to intranet pages, portal pages or any web page.

So how do you get started? Try a simple tutorial with Creating a Simple Mashup in Wires.

See Opening Presto Wires and Wires Features for startup instructions and an introduction to the design features in Wires. For common questions, try the Wires FAQs.

Once you are ready to create your first mashup, start with Creating Mashups. See Managing Mashups in Wires for other common tasks.

Once you have a mashup, you can create a mashlet to begin using it in web pages or a wiki. See Making Basic Mashlets for Services or Mashups.

For more robust or complex mashup capabilities, you create mashups using EMML and the Mashup Studio. See Advanced Mashups with EMML/Mashup Studio for more information.
