Mashup Integration in Salesforce

During preparation for TA certification exam, I came across a word Mashup for integration a number of times. I explored about it and below is description:- Mashups, sometimes called “composites,” are hybrid applications created by bringing together several data sources and Web services to create a new application or to add value to an existing application. Behind the scenes, mashups may require different levels of integration, depending on whether the mashed-up data is only meant to be viewed, whether it can be edited, and whether data is actually transferred between systems.

Client Service Mashup - As mashups evolve, they are becoming more complex and sophisticated. Client...

Make Calls to PageReference.getContent() in Asynchronous Apex - Winter16

You can now make calls to the getContent() and getContentAsPdf() methods of the PageReference class from within asynchronous Apex such as Batch Apex, Schedulable and Queueable classes, and @future methods.
