内容説明
OpenSocial is a set of common application programming interfaces for Web-based social network applications. As the first book on OpenSocial, this valuable resource discusses the unique area of social networking and the needs and different attributes of social network applications. You?ll get step-by-step instructions for creating OpenSocial applications for multiple platforms and explore application development and deployment using integration technologies like the new Sun Zembly Platform. Plus, you?ll examine newer technologies like the Sun Platform that allows even non-programmers the ability to ?mash up? applications.

Good discussion of challenges involved and how to address them in developing viral social networking applications
2009/5/17
形式:ペーパーバック
Written by a professor who has collaborated with numerous social networking companies and is a member of the OpenSocial Foundation, this first book on the open source platform aimed at helping developers build social networking applications that can be deployed to multiple networks/containers provides tutorials and advice on how to use the platform's Client- and Server-Side APIs as well as approaches to addressing technical hurdles in the successful development and deployment of such applications. After reading this book, you'll get a good idea of what attributes are common to successful social networking applications, what social networks support OpenSocial and to what extent (for example, many support version 0.8 of the Client API but -- at publication time -- only hi5 supports the RESTful Server-Side API), what tools and architectural designs you can consider using to help you test, monitor, and make your application secure, scalable, and performant. As a bonus, you'll also get good information on emerging technologies from Sun and Yahoo that could take OpenSocial's "write once, deploy everywhere" goal to the next level of convenience.
The book provides plenty of code examples showing you how to use the Javascript Client API but only a few examples of what you can achieve with the RESTful Server-Side APIs and all of them are coded in PHP, a potential negative for some readers (libraries for Java, Ruby, etc are available for the server-side APIs, however). Also, while some of the tips are quite good, many could have benefitted from the use of better or more extended examples than the brief discussions provided (for example, the one on database sharding, an increasingly popular share-nothing architectural approach to data storage and management that's especially relevant to high-traffic websites, is intriguing but discussed only briefly; similarly, the discussion on scalable user interfaces was somewhat short on details and left me wondering about the practicalness of the recommended approach). Finally, a lot of the materials in the book can be found elsewhere easily (if you're willing to spend time finding them). Overall, however, I do think the book provides good value and am giving it a rating of four out of five stars.

Many Words, Little Code, Many Errors but 1st book available on OpenSocial to be fair
2009/6/17
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
OpenSocial is not really simple, even somewhat confusing due to its technology heritage as it kind of got re-purposed from gadgets API to play catch-up with other social application containers. For that reason any book on the subject is welcome. Although to be fair there are only few examples in the book and even less working ones, it took significant changes to get most of the code examples running on just one of the many available OpenSocial containers. If you want to write apps that do more than sending a HelloWorld to a friend you are probably interested in the REST API and server side code with a DB. Unfortunately not much is covered in this book on that subject. It feels like the authors have rushed to get the book out to be the first ones to cover the OpenSocial techno. Don't count on updates of the code from the site, I have downloaded it a few times just to see if they would updated the files. The answer is no, it still has all the same many syntax errors as the printed code. I am clearly disappointed by the book compared to other API related books but at the time of this review it is the only one available on the topic so for that reason I still gave it 2 stars!
