Here's a list of resources that will be useful for building prototypes during the week:
Backstage
List of live feeds of BBC website data, plus ideas, prototypes and a mailing list for the Backstage community.
Creative Archive
Open video and audio content from the BBC archive. There are currently three projects from the Creative Archive, all with specific content for the project:
Radio 1 Superstar VJs - varied documentary material for VJ competition
Open News archive - video from some of the most iconic moments of the twentieth century
Open Earth archive - a huge archive of science and nature footage
ProgrammableWeb.com open API list - a really good list of available open APIs, ranging from Amazon to Zevents, and including calendaring, photo sharing, mapping and many other applications and data sources.
Tom Coates' presentation from 'Future Web Apps 2006'Tom Coates gave a fantastic presentation at the Carson Future of Web Apps conference in London in February about building applications that are 'Native to a Web of Data'. well worth checking out for his 9 point checklist of how to approach building apps based around data models rather than presentation outputs.
