Developing Facebook Platform Applications with Rails.
Success with Facebook applications is one part idea, one part
tech-
nical, and one part execution. Mike’s book does an amazing job cov-
ering all three. He takes you from evaluating your idea and thinking
about platform strategy through every step of building the application
and then even covers advanced strategies and considerations for scal-
ing. This book wil l save you a tremendous amount of time learning the
platform and building a successful viral application.

Not only does Mike take the time t o explain the technical details
required to build a Facebook application, but he also sheds light on
important ways to make y our app successful, something not often
found in a programming book. Mike’s book taught me several new
tricks that I’m already putting int o action to help i mprove t he quality
and visibility of my apps.
