Coding For Facebook
Integration
of apps into Facebook can be very beneficial for developers. You will be able
to integrate your app into the News Feed and also the notifications. The core
technologies on Facebook are platforms such as Social Plugins, Graph API and
Platform Dialogs.
To
begin with an API, you have to have an API key. To get this key, you have to
create an application, select an application name and agree to the terms of use
on the developer’s application page. Once you have done this you will be
assigned an API key and a secret key.
FBML
also known as Facebook Markup Language is Facebook’s version of the HTML
language used on the internet. There are some exceptions of the tags used in
FBML and they are HTML, HEAD, BODY and Javascript.
FQL
also known as Facebook Query Language is Facebook’s version of SQL also known
as Structured Query Language, which is widely used on the internet. FQL is a
query language that allows users to query other user’s data by using a
SQL-style interface, thus avoiding the need to use the Facebook Platform Graph
API. Data returned from an FQL query is in a format called JSON.
For
accessing Facebook’s server, the use of Javascript SDK (JS SDK) is recommended.
This is a set of features that includes REST API, Graph API and Dialogs. It
provides the rendering of XFBML versions of Social Plugins and a way for Canvas
pages to communicate with Facebook.
Before
creating any applications for Facebook, you must have a Facebook account. Go to
the Facebook website and register for a free account. When you have an account
you can start creating apps for this account.
