Create custom Applications for Facebook with New Book from Packt

June 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Packt is pleased to announce a new book based on one of the most popular websites in the world: Facebook. Written by Hasin Hayder and Dr. Mark A. Bain, Learning Facebook Application Development will help developers create new features and applications using the Facebook Platform and PHP.

The Facebook Platform provides a framework for third party developers to create applications that interact with core Facebook features. The applications in Facebook are written in a server-side language, and hosted on the application developer's own server. They enable users to add new ways to interact with each other using Facebook.

This book shows PHP developers how to quickly get started building powerful Facebook applications, how to work with data stored in Facebook, including photos, and how to handle multimedia and other custom data within Facebook applications.

The book is packed with example code and demo applications, so users can see their techniques in action. Along the way references are provided to the most important aspects of the API, so users can refer back as they develop their own applications with the book.

The book is out now and is available with Packt. For more information, please visit: http://www.packtpub.com/learning-facebook-application-dev...
