Demo Y!OS/YAP Application – "Chatty Kathy"
I gave a talk at work today to the Hack Lunch crew on Y!OS, YAP and the Y!OS PHP SDK. Part of the talk entailed building a sample YAP application using the PHP SDK so I could show people how it’s done.
The application I built, which I call “Chatty Kathy“, grabs all of the Yahoo! Updates generated by your connections and distills it down to a list of your connections (sorted by who generates the most updates) and their applications (sorted by the ones they use most often). It’s not super interesting (although it helped me to find some new applications) and it’s not super complicated (I wrote it in about two hours last night), but it does provide a decent demonstration of how to build an application making use of Yahoo!’s social platform.
For anyone interested, I’ve made the source code available.
