The Key Aspects of Facebook Applications Development Discussed

With more than a billion active users, Facebook still remains one of the most sought-after social networking platform for social enthusiasts across the globe. Out of these around 550 million users make use of apps. Is your app one of them ? There is a huge market for Facebook apps, considering which, it can be fairly said that vast growth opportunities exist for businesses & developers alike.



Why Facebook Apps ?

No introduction is required for Facebook's app ecosystem. Skilfully designed & developed Facebook apps have proven their worth in providing the leading edge to businesses whose targeted market comes under the Facebook user demographic. Facebook apps not only bring in numerous likes & shares but also help to bring more increased traffic to your site, increase the user engagement level and ultimately result in upsurge in your revenue.

Facebook Application Development : Key Points to Consider

No matter, whether you are an individual developer or a Facebook application development company, there are some points you need to consider to make sure that everything goes perfectly. Firstly, you must understand that developing Facebook apps is quite different compared to building a mobile app. A number of factors are involved that need due consideration. Let's take a look at these factors.

  • Facebook has its own policy in place that needs to be adhered to while going for app development. Never violate the policy to avoid facing any legal issues at a later stage.
  • Facebook's algorithm Edgerank makes continuous tweaks that determine the apps & posts visible on News Feed. Make sure, you adjust to these tweaks.

An Introduction of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities in SharePoint Online

The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is very much a lingering but an important issue with many organizations. There are many ways in which an organization saves its critical data and thus the need to protect it from unsolicited resources is very urgent. In many cases the organization may be storing data in the e-mails and drafts that are further stored in the libraries. If the data of an organization needs to be protected then it has to be done at the content level or in other words at the file level. Data Loss Prevention (DLP) capabilities in SharePoint online would help the organization in storing the data anywhere in the SharePoint. 

SharePoint development
In the SharePoint the permission to access data is defined by the SharePoint administrator that allows the access to certain libraries and lists. But this approach is very much at odds with the use of the SharePoint as an enterprise collaboration platform. The need of the hour is to have a solution that would look into the specific files and individual documents which need to be secured based on specific policies. The content must be checked with the pre-defined checkpoints resident within the policy manager. The content then can be classified and the access to it can be restricted and the content encrypted.

Following this approach it can be assured that the permissions are applied at the individual file level rather than at the library level. This would allow the user to store sensitive content, share it or collaborate from any site or library in the SharePoint farm. It would also ensure that the file can be accessed by only those who are permitted to it as defined by the classification. Organizations that are using SharePoint to store and manage data need to make sure that are using the right company. The SharePoint development company in India has the wherewithal to do the needful.

Joomla! 3.3.4 - an update of security release for the 3.x series of Joomla!

JoomlaJoomla is a free and open source content management system (CMS) that is used for publishing web content. It is built on the model-view-controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. In an estimate it has been found that the Joomla is the second most used content management system on the internet after WordPress. By February 2014 Joomla had been downloaded over 50 million times. Over 7,700 free and commercial extensions are available from the official Joomla! Extension Directory and many more from the other sources. Joomla is written in PHP and uses object-oriented programming techniques. In a way similar to many other web applications, Joomla can be run on a LAMP stack. Installation and maintenance of Joomla is an  easy task and does not require much efforts.

The latest development from the Joomla! Project and the Production Leadership Team is the release of Joomla!3.3.4 which is a security release for the 3.x series of Joomla. In case you are running a Joomla! Release on a server with PHP 5.3.10 or later than the best thing to do is to update to the Joomla!3.3.4 version. The security issues such as the Core XSS Vulnerability and Core Unauthorized Logins are comprehensively addressed by this release. It can be said that the Joomla! 3.3.4 is a very effective security release that is going to benefit the Joomla community in a big way.


The Joomla! 3.3.4 is a version that was long awaited by the Joomla community. The Joomla! Production team has finally delivered what can at best be described as one of the finest of versions that can be easily installed and set up. If you are looking for a company that can use this latest version of Joomla then it is best to hire PHP developers who know the nitty-gritty of this upgraded version.
