Facebook Friends

  • 31 Mar 2008

This was an educational assignment I completed during the second year of my degree. I built a mash up which is essentially a Facebook application which plots your friends on facebook onto a Google map and then allows you to see pictures of where your friends live.

Notes

This project gave me a chance to gain technical experience in using the Facebook, Flicker and Google Maps APIs and creating a mash up.

Particularly challenging aspects of this project were the interface design and the fault tolerance that the code had to have because of relying on third party APIs.
