Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails leads you through the steps necessary to build
your first application. You'll get hands-on experience with Facebook technologies such as FBML and
FQL, and master messaging and news feeds.

You'll do more than just study the Facebook API-you'll get practical tips from an experienced
Facebook developer. We'll cover advanced techniques such as AJAX and asynchronous messaging, and
you'll see how to slash development time with facebooker, the leading Ruby library for Facebook
Platform development.

Together, we'll build Karate Poke, a real Facebook Platform application, from configuration to
deployment. You'll get deep into Facebook requests right off the bat. From there, you'll build the
core of Karate Poke and then get a detailed look at the Facebook canvas and social features. We'll
finish by looking at advanced features and tips for handling millions of users.

Developing for the Facebook Platform can seem like a different world at first. Developing Facebook
Platform Applications with Rails is your tour guide.
