Social Media and Sharing - Focus: Facebook Plugin (Graph Library)

Hello folks.  Today we had the first talk about social media and sharing.  That is, the first in which I participated and shared code.  This talk came out of a request on this forum post:

https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/53368-2015-hangout-topics-and-guest-suggestions/page-2

Today we talked about, 

  • Social Media - What it is (or means to those who want to implement it)
  • Techniques for Sharing - I quickly talked about the currently available methods to share.
  • The Facebook Plugin (facebook.*) - Then we talked a bit about the facebook (graph) plugin and why you would use it.

This discussion went by quickly, but we ended up talking about how to create a Facebook app and how to submit some basic graph requests.

This discussion came with a large set of examples that can be found here:

Purpose For This Post

I am making this post to give people a place to ask questions about the show and the code that came out of it.  

I want to encourage questions and answers from various parties here.  

Finally, feel free to tell me if you think I’ve made mistakes in the talk and/or in my code.  I’m happy to learn and correct.  Especially in the face of the ever changing Facebook API.

Cheers,

Ed
