Build a Facebook interface for an existing stock brokerage firm that enables online portfolio management. Learn one approach for dividing an application's functionality between PHP and Java™ components, and use the Spring framework to apply a standard MVC architecture to the Java code. This tutorial covers the details for developing the Facebook application that you started in Part 1.

This tutorial series steps you through the process of developing a fully functioning Facebook application using WebSphere® Application Server, Rational® Application Developer, Zend Core for IBM, PHP 5, and DB2®.

Prerequisites

This tutorial is for Java and PHP developers of varying degrees of experience who want to start writing Facebook applications in Java, PHP or integrate the two as parts of a larger application. It's for PHP developers who want to learn what goes into building a J2EE application using the Spring framework and how to apply an object-oriented structure to their PHP applications, and Java developers who want to start using PHP, perhaps in the interest of adding PHP to an existing Java enterprise.

You should read Mastering Facebook application development, Part 1 before continuing with Part 2.
