VTC, Jesse Feiler – Facebook Application Development

Facebook Application Development

With over 200,000 users, Facebook has become the dominant social networking
platform. This course, taught by developer, teacher, and author Jesse Feiler,
covers the ins and outs of developing your own Facebook apps using the Facebook
API. You’ll see how to register your app to receive the necessary development
and run-time keys from Facebook and how to set up your app on your own web
server so that it can interact with Facebook. Ins and outs of news feeds,
invitations, and interaction with Facebook user profiles are all covered.
You’ll also see how to interact with your own database to merge Facebook data
with your app’s data. Work files are included.
