What we believe
Simpler is better.
RED HAT DEVELOPER DAY
Complexity and Fragmentation
Facebook APIs and SDKs:
JavaScript
PHP
IOS
Android
Graph API
Depricated/Replaced SDKs and APIs:
Python SDK
C# SDK
Facebook iPhone SDK
Old REST API
I just want a way to get started.
Red Hat opensource tools:
OpenShift – free cloud hosting
Hibernate – Easy access to store/retrieve data
Arquillian – Automated Integration tests.
Forge – Keeping everything simple!

The Demo App
Useful Facebook app strategies
●
Use minimal JavaScript, just to make Facebook API calls.
●
Have a WebService which contains all our business logic.
Pass information to/from our UI and to/from our Database via
http GET and POST calls.
●
Use automated Integration tests to make sure our entire app
works correctly.

What's needed in testing?
Tests should live within the code.
● Tests need to be fast!
● Tests should not rely on mocks!
● Tests should be query and assert against
your application’s APIs.
