Develop Flash Facebook applications with Facebook Graph API Development with Flash

Talking about Actionscript 3, Facebook and Flash.

The latest result of my collaboration with Packt Publishing is Facebook Graph API Development with Flash by Michael James Williams, who also owns a blog about Flash game developing.

Michael is an excellent writer and I was pleased to be the reviewer of this book.

Yes, it’s me!! I’ve carefully read the book page by page, image by image, and I have to say it’s a great resource both for developers trying to make Flash Facebook applications and for everyone looking for a guide on the Facebook Graph API. Guaranteed by the reviewer :)

While some tutorials taken from the book will come soon (I am polishing the book I am writing during these days and I have thousands of ideas to show you once it will be on the shelves), let me show you what you’ll learn reading this book:

* Make your AS3 projects more social and personalise them for your users by adding Facebook integration
* Grab information directly from Facebook into your applications by using Facebook’s Graph API
* Securely authenticate your users with OAuth 2.0 to log them into Facebook
* Access information about your users and their friends directly from Facebook – no need to make them type it all in again
* Upload photographs, add wall posts, and create events through AS3
* Search on Facebook’s databases with the powerful Facebook Query Language
* Build an AS3 Facebook SDK that you can drop into any AS3 project to add Facebook integration
* Easily access both public and private Facebook data from the surface of a graph

If you’re looking for a book to start developing Flash Facebook applications, Facebook Graph API Development with Flash is your book.
