The thesis contains the review of Facebook and Twitter's application programming interfaces and describes the development of a web application for the Facebook social network. Social plugins, which represent the simplest use of social data in web applications, are described for both social networks. JavaScript and PHP have been selected, along with the markup language HTML and styling language CSS, as enabling technologies for the web application. Features and the structure of the web application, which is developed for all (at the time of writing) popular web browsers and supports creating and voting for web polls, are described. Two of the most common use cases are presented in detail. Final observations and ideas for expanding the web application are explained in the conclusion. |
