Introduction to the Facebook Graph API
by Jesse Stay
Everything you need to know to build your first Facebook App. This course extends Jesse Stay's previous Introduction to Facebook Development course and takes you to a fully functional social app in Facebook.
What you'll learn
There's a good chance almost everyone you know is on Facebook. Over 1 billion people in the world use Facebook today. That means most of your customers probably use it. Therefore your apps should be using it as well. In this course by Jesse Stay, you'll go beyond the fundamentals and create a fully-functioning app in JavaScript that integrates social design principles and makes your app a much less lonely experience. If you're looking to promote your app, this is the easiest way to build an app that naturally promotes itself and grows on its own!
