Version 1

The Dredge "Remote" brings together a load of my bits and pieces from around the web. It was created mostly as a way of experimenting and learning about the API's of Flickr, Upcoming, Del.icio.us, and various other web services. Version 1 is pretty unambitious in scope, but I hope to build more features into it over time, and expand it as other web services begin building open APIs.

How it's built

The Dredge "Remote" is built with a whole bundle of technologies. At the back end is PHP and MySQL, which together look after parsing and caching the XML that is pulled in from around the web. I'm using PHP 5 and it's ridiculously simple-to-use XML functions.

Out front on your browser is XHTML, CSS and a fairly hefty amount of Javascript. The Javascript is completely unobtrusive, and is not required to get to any of the content; but if you do have it available it should do a lot to speed up and increase usability of the site.
