Course author Keith Welch has spent more than 30 years working in the software industry, with 10 years working in .NET technologies, and the last 10 years focusing on mobile development. His many proficiencies include Android, Windows Mobile, ASP.NET, and more. Welch currently specializes in mobile developer tools, development consulting, and app development.
Welch organizes the course around the creation of a selection of social networking apps, starting with using the UIActivityViewController to integrate basic posting capabilities for Twitter and Facebook.
The course then moves into the SLRequest API, adding account access and the ability to read the Twitter timeline.
Finally, Welch devotes a chapter to working with the Facebook SDK, which allows a greater degree of integration with Facebook, including the ability to access the user profile, friend lists, photo uploading, and location features.
“Social integration is a major market player at this point,” Welch explains. “Say you have an e-commerce app, and you want to allow users to post to Facebook saying how great your product is. iOS provides these capabilities with varying levels of richness depending on the API you use. We'll start with a basic one that allows you post to a social network, and progress toward more complex features.”
