Building Social Applications Using OpenSocial at AJAX World



The notion of building 'social applications' has taken the Web by storm. Today it is not only important to understand how to build Web or AJAX applications, but with the advent of the 'Social Graph', AJAX developer's must have a solid understanding of how to build social applications that operate within the context of a social environment. To this end, OpenSocial provides a set of open APIs for building applications that can run on any environment supporting OpenSocial. In this session, I will cover all aspects of building social applications using the OpenSocial APIs. A high level introduction of the social graph is given, followed by a detailed review of OpenSocial's APIs followed by demonstrations of practical examples. At the end of the session I will also review Shindig, which is an open source project that serves as a full server implementation 'in-a-box' for anyone wishing to host OpenSocial applications.
