Introduction

The playground tutorials give developers a step-by-step introduction on how to start creating mobile services, using the building blocks available in the playground lab. The tutorials are basic examples, demonstrating how a java application is invoking the web service interfaces exposed.

Web Services, Web 2.0 and Mashups are termonologies widely used in the web world today. Now we are able to combine services from the web wourld with the playground enablers to create attractive new mobile aplications. Have a look at the the following tutorial, which demonstrate how we combine the messaging and location enablers with the Yahoo Map Service to create a mobile mashup service: http://playground.telenor.com/mashup

Pre-requisite

Java programming language is used to develop the tutorials, but the open, technology independent playground APIs are not restricted to java. Any programming language with support for web service technology can be used when accessing the playground API. Java, .net, PHP are examples of programming languages with support for web service technology.
