Michael Ogrinz is a principal architect at one of the world’s largest financial institutions. His business focus is to identify and integrate emerging technologies into the enterprise and to create innovative and competitive solutions. A frequent industry speaker on various facets of Enterprise 2.0, Michael has been instrumental in enhancing the computing environment at his firm through his work on user interfaces and usability, wikis and blogs, and, most recently, mashups.
Michael cofounded localendar.com, a classic “garage start-up” that demonstrates how the “Long Tail” applies to online calendars as much as anything else. The niche site has provided more than 400,000 schools, churches, and clubs with simple online scheduling services since its inception more than eight years ago.
Michael lives with his wife, two daughters, a collection of classic pinball and vector arcade machines, and a partially completed B9 Robot in wonderfully rural Easton, Connecticut.
Indispensable Patterns and Insights for Putting Mashups to Work in Enterprise Environments
Using new mashup tools and technologies, enterprise developers can impose their own APIs on everything from Web sites and RSS feeds to Excel and PDF files–transforming a world of content into their own customized informationsource. In Mashup Patterns, Michael Ogrinz applies the concept of software development patterns to mashups, systematically revealing the right ways to build enterprise mashups and providing useful insights to help organizations avoid the mistakes that cause mashups to fail.
Drawing on extensive experience building business-critical mashups, Ogrinz offers patterns and realistic guidance for every stage of the mashup development lifecycle and addresses the key issues developers, architects, and managers will face. Each pattern is documented with a practical description, specific use cases, and crucial insights into the stability of mashups built with it. Ogrinz concludes by presenting twelve start-to-finish case studies demonstrating mashup patterns at work in actual enterprise settings.
Coverage includes:
- Understanding the relationships among mashups, portals, SOA, EAI/EII, and SaaS
- Exploring core mashup activities such as data management, surveillance, clipping, transformation, enrichment, publication, and promotion
- Optimizing security, privacy, accessibility, usability, and performance
- Managing mashup development, from planning and governance through integration, testing, and deployment
- Enhancing basic mashups with search, language translation, workflow support, and other improvements
- Performing effective load and regression testing
- Avoiding “anti-patterns” that cause enterprise mashups to fail
Also of interest: The companion book, Mashups: Strategies for the Modern Enterprise by J. Jeffrey Hanson (Addison-Wesley), is an indispensable guide to designing, implementing, and debugging an enterprise mashup, offering sample code to illustrate key concepts.

Good book but not really mashups, By Venture Technologist "VT" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mashup Patterns: Designs and Examples for the Modern Enterprise (Paperback)
This book is a good book but it really isn't about mashups. This is about data integration patterns (filter, aggregation, integration, etc.) are all data integration patterns that have been around for years. I think this book misses the real value of mashups. It doesn't focus on the ease of assembling a new application by sourcing existing systems capabilities including data, logic, and presentation. But there are some valuable patterns around data integration and a couple like Dashboard that are fundamentally mashups. The patterns also need more structure. He mixes patterns on technology, functionality, use cases, and best practices without distinguishing them as such. It is an informative book but calling it mashup patterns is a bit misleading.

GoF Design Patterns for the next-gen,
This review is from: Mashup Patterns: Designs and Examples for the Modern Enterprise (Paperback)
A wonderful book - highly pragmatic. Chock full of real-world examples of benefits mashups can bring to an organization.Similar to Design Patterns, provides a common language to abstract the nascent mashup conversation - so we can now describe mashup behaviors with a concise word or two rather than long-winded, easily-misunderstood descriptions. I appreciate the deeply honest tone of the book as well - it's not just marketing fluff. Each pattern is both presented in context, and associated with its corresponding fragility rating. Helps to fundamentally understand the tensions and constraints of using the various patterns to solve problems. It's a wide-ranging book. The title almost belies its true nature. It really provides a *practical* vision of the democratization of software - where not just the... Read more

Simply Excellent!, By BizGirl (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mashup Patterns: Designs and Examples for the Modern Enterprise (Paperback)
Finally, I understand what *enterprise* mashups are about! As opposed to the books about "regular" kind of mashups with Google Maps, flickr, etc. this book is like a cookbook for how a a professional developer can build things faster for their users (and outshine their peers - ha ha). If you think mashups must have a presentation layer, or always integrate multiple apps, prepare to have your perceptions altered.The examples alone are invaluable. If I was the author, I would have built a few of them and made my fortune that way instead of giving such great ideas to others. |
