Where to Go from Here

The first thing I recommend that everyone do is set up a Facebook Page. I go through this in detail in Chapter 5. If you have any sort of brand, you'll need to at least do this.

If you're a developer, you'll probably want to get started immediately in Chapter 1. If you're a marketer, you'll find Chapter 5 and onward pretty interesting, and you'll want to skim over Part IV.

At the time this book went to print, it was the most up-to-date book of its kind. I guarantee that won't always be the case, but what's most important is that you know where to go to get information.

Facebook Platform is a living, breathing platform. It changes frequently. You should always check back to developers.facebook.com, look on this book's Facebook Page at facebook.com/dummiesbook, reference the book's Web site at staynalive.com/dummiesbook, or ask a question in the book's Facebook group at stay.am/dummiesgroup if you are ever in doubt. You can access all the code in this book at this book's companion Web site at www.wiley.com/go/facebookappdev.
