Mashup, in technological context, refers to a web application that makes use of a combination or mixture of data from two or more sources.

A good example for this is the integration of cartographic data from Google Maps to real-estate facts, thus producing a different and fresh web service which is otherwise not provided by either or both sources. Consequently, the end-product of mashup is data or code that can be applied for software purposes.
Interestingly, mashup originated from a certain application in pop music, especially hip-hop in which a special song is created by combining two or more other songs.

Output Buffer is a process by which HTML or Javascript code or echo or print is produced in PHP with the information being sent to the browser and consequently to the web as an outcome. This is done by having the information stocked up on the server until the script is done executing, or by you doing something on the buffer itself.
To carry out this process, you should start the output buffer first. This should be done before anything else is fed to the browser.

You have to be very precise and sure that no prior action is done before the PHP tag is opened because even a lull or space can result to mistakes.

As a free software, it can be utilized in web servers on approximately all operating systems and platforms.
XP follows own programming patterns

To ensure that all programs will run well, XP takes the following guides of programming organization: spike solutions, stand-up meetings, refactoring and testing.
The aspects of programming earlier mentioned can be used again in many other projects, and businesses. Though use of pure XP is not commonly done, they are nonetheless used by XP. Point solutions may not be most ideal but nevertheless give a competent choice. Paring the code base down then making full use of more meaningful and updated codes does work. The key here is getting rid of things that don’t work and even those that do work, and utilizing those which are more significant and usable.
How XP benefits the customer

XP or Extreme Programming is a software that includes the main aspects of software development such as specification, design, development and testing. It also addresses communication and planning as well as code management.
To put it straight, XP deals with the whole progress phase from the first stage through the testing, release and further development. This application is suited for projects that require speed or those which are bound to change during the duration of the project. With this, the client is benefited because he is likely to get more input. XP likewise promotes a dynamic association between everyone involved in the conceptualization of the whole process.
