Building OpenSocial Apps A Field Guide to Working with the MySpace Platform

Applications written for social networking sites are one of the fastest growing segments of the software market. With the launch of OpenSocial on the MySpace Development Platform, third-party developers are able to write apps that can reach several million users in a very short timeframe. This book shows developers how to do that; it takes the reader from writing casual widgets to creating feature-rich professional applications. The chapters are organized progressively from entry-level to increasingly complex advanced topics. The authors take an example application and build it over the course of the book, adding new features that demonstrate the capabilities of OpenSocial, and demonstrating how to move a 0.7 or 0.8 version application to version 0.9 Download Here
