Although promising  great innovation, as is the case with music mash-ups, framework mash-ups can be fairly hit and miss. Sometimes this will be due to each component’s inherent characteristics but, more of than than not, it is actually a reflection of how skillfully the individual  parts have been sculpted together by the mash-up artist.

I have recently stumbled upon a number of interesting posts that demonstrate how, with a little forethought, research and planning you can get the most from your mash-ups.  CJ Tech’s discussion of using Flex, Spring, BlazeDS and Hibernate , Glidias’ thoughts on best practices for a Gaia and PureMVC hybrid and TweenPix’s Papervision3D and Box2D crayon physics are all definitely worth a look for a host of different reasons.
