Develop on Yammer is your guide to integrating the Yammer social network with your company´s application ecosystem. By developing custom apps and features on the Yammer platform, you can make your workplace more productive, encourage communication and feedback, and get your colleagues collaborating across a range of platforms, including SharePoint, ASP.NET, and Windows Phone.

The book begins with an introduction to the development options available along with guidance on how to set up a Yammer developer account. You´ll then take your first step in Yammer integration by building a Yammer feed into a web page or other JavaScript-based client application, before diving into app creation and management on the Yammer platform.

The authors provide a deep dive into the Yammer authorization process from client-side and server-side perspectives, and you´ll find out how to work closely with Yammer´s data streams and its full range of development possibilities using Open Graph and Yammer´s REST API. The final chapters cover how to build Yammer integration into standalone applications for SharePoint and Windows Phone 8 with Yammer SDKs.

All chapters are illustrated with examples and sample code, and a case study follows the development of a workplace training application as the authors apply each technique, so you can see how to make the most of what Yammer has to offer.
