MyCocktail Wiki

MyCocktail, Romulus Mashup Builder, is a web application that provides a graphical user interface for building mashup easily, allowing the user to develop mashups faster and, thus, increasing her productivity.

This tool allows the user to combine information obtained of different services. This information can be modified with operators and later presented with a wide variety of renderers. All this process is developed with a graphical user interface and it is as easy as to drag and drop some components and to combine it. The time for developing a mashup is reduced considerably thus the productivity is noticeably improved.

MyCocktail allows designers and programmers to use services without dealing with the low-level details. Users only have to fill a simple form and the tool processes it and makes the petitions to the different services.

We recommend that you see the User Guide which has a good documentation about MyCocktail and the Mashup Building Process to learn the typically steps that a user has to follow to build a mashup with MyCocktail. To extend the operators, services or renderers, you should see the Developer Guide.
