As the world’s largest social networking site, Facebook represents a tremendous opportunity for developers who want to reach and engage with large numbers of people. In this course, creative technologist and trainer Robert Turrall guides you through the Facebook Platform structure, teaching you how to ensure that users authorize your application — which will in turn grant the permissions your application requires to access their data. You’ll also learn how to access users’ photos, videos, and news feeds, as well as how to create Wall posts and send requests, use social plugins to add Facebook interaction to external websites, and integrate Flash applications with Facebook. Throughout the course, you’ll learn to work within Facebook’s privacy guidelines and rules, keeping both Facebook and your users happy. When you’re done, you’ll be fully prepared to develop and implement engaging and entertaining applications. This Learn by Video workshop is published in partnership with Peachpit Press.

In this course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to get involved in the fast-growing world of Facebook applications. The contents of this course include:
