The facebook platform allows us to integerate our web site with their platform by embedding its social plugins into our web page. Embedding a social plugin into a web page is done by copying a short code. Most of the available plugins can be embedded using either a simple HTML or a simple XFBML code. In order to embed XFBML code into our web page we must use the facebook JavaScript SDK.
I have recently completed to develop a short course that explains everything you need to know in order to add facebook social plugins to your web site. The community version of this course is available for free personal and academic usage at www.abelski.com. The commercial professional version is available at www.xperato.com.
You can find abelski short demonstration for adding the facebook social plugins to a web page at http://www.abelski.com/courses/facebookplugins/abelski_facebook_plugins_page.html.
