I am co-authoring a book about the Twitter API, and I was wondering if any of you guys wanted to write a chapter.
The book will be in the SAMS 24 hour series, and it's scheduled to be released mid-next year. Here is our tentative table of contents: Introduction to Twitter An overview of Twitter and Microblogging Common Types of Twitter Applications Key Issues to Consider when Developing Twitter Apps Overview of Twitters's API structure The API is HTTP-based The API uses Representational State Transfer (REST) There are pagination limits The Twitter API supports UTF-8 encoding Getting Started with the API Setting up an environment Making your first API call Parsing the reply Message, date, author, image Creating a simple display Setting up an application framework Creating a twitter Class Various twitter libraries are available PHP Class used in this book Modifing our class Twitter Error messages What each error code means Modifing our twitter Class Passing credentials to twitter Standard method (HTTP) Using cookies (create, retrieve, delete) OAuth Sending and Receiving messages from Twitter Creating a basic twitter client Sending messages in twitter Twitter search Dealing with Twitter downtimes and errors Twitter Beyond the API Future of Twitter Example Applications Other Mashup Twitter Services Twitter Etiquette Ping me directly if you are interested! andrew.ma...@gmail.com
