Abstract

This hands on exploration of the Google+ platform walks through the full offering of Google+ APIs.

Developing with Google+ takes a common sense, sequential approach to learning Google+. It focuses on concrete examples of integrating existing websites with Google+ as well as building social applications upon this new platform.

In this book you will:
- Make the most of social widgets like the +1 Button and the Sharebox
- Register applications to gain access to the Google+ APIs
- Access public data directly over RESTful web services
- Use OAuth to gain access to access user specific data
- Learn about the available client libraries
- Build a small social application that integrates deeply with Google+

Whether you’re new to web design or an experienced application developer, you’ll learn everything you need to get started integrating Google+ into your new and existing projects.
