Fellow Open Social developers, In my ongoing experimentation with the new Open Social initiative, i've ended up writing a bit about my experience so far, and created two prototype wrappers around the somewhat arcane Open Social API's.
The first short article has some general information and background: http://www.chabotc.com/javascript/first-step-into-the-open-social-world/ The second article includes the first library which is application class, which you can tell to load (owner, viewer, ownerFriends and/or viewerFriends) information, and presents this information in an uniform way (instead of having to do different type of calls for different information fields) and with proper consistent error handling. With it you can very easily create your first Open Social container application in a friendly prototype style environment: http://www.chabotc.com/javascript/second-step-into-the-open-social-world/ and the library: http://www.chabotc.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/ospeople.js The third article contains a Ajax.Request implementation, since prototype's version won't work well or even at all in the cross domain environment of open social containers, it allows you to re-use your current prototype based programs by trying to mimic prototype's ajax call as well as possible given the constraints of the situation:http://www.chabotc.com/javascript/third-step-into-the-open-social-world/ and the library: http://www.chabotc.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/osajax.js I hope you will find it interesting, and it can be of some help for the general prototype using community, and for the non prototypers under us, maybe demo how one could wrap Open Social's API's.
