DESCRIPTION
Adding social features to new or existing applications has never been easier with the advent of the Social Business Toolkit SDK. At this session we will discuss how social features can add real business value and you will see how easily they can be built using the SDK. The SDK heralds a transformation is how you develop applications on the IBM Social Platform so come along learn more.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks

experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the
amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that
an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

Embracing open standards
Enabling the next generation of socially-enabled solutions to enhance customers' existing investments and heterogeneous platforms
Focus on open standards and “loosely coupled” web-centric architectures
A commitment to drive and leverage open standards
Maximize choice, flexibility, and ease of integration
Drive enterprise innovation and leverage rapid innovation on the public web
Minimize incremental cost of targeting additional desktop and mobile platforms
Leverage dominant skill-sets based around web technologies
Making it easier to consume the platform
Get developers started in minutes
Test the IBM APIs and Services directly from the cloud, without having to install anything
Make the on premises install as simple as possible
Provide reusable code libraries
Encapsulate the services access into easy to use libraries
Call any service with a few lines of code
Provide a large set of code snippets
Understand how the APIs can be used by looking at the self-documented snippets
Copy, paste and run the code samples directly to your own application
Provide an extended documentation
Make the documentation live in a constantly updated wiki
Provide developer API documentation generated from the source code (Java/JavaScript doc)
Provide easier access to the platformThe IBM Quickstart Image for Social Business
Includes the latest version of IBM Connections, Notes/Domino and Sametime, all configured together with a sample set of users. The SDK is also pre-installed!

The IBM Social Business Toolkit SDK
Let developers add social capabilities to their applications in minutes
Through the consumption of ready to use code libraries
Not a new set of APIs, but helpers on top of the existing APIs
Illustrated by many comprehensive examples that can simply be copy/paste to existing applications
And established developer patterns for social business
Target the broader range of developers
Focus on web technologies: HTML, JavaScript and CSS
But also support Java developers, and more over time
Supports J2EE and OSGI based servers, and more to come
Supports on-premises and cloud deployments
Delivered as an open source project (Apache 2.0 license) and available on GitHub
External contributions will be accepted
Supported using a community on developerWorks and OpenNTF
SDK Keypoints
Easy to consume, starting library for any application developer
Saves application developers from writing cumbersome, static code
Isolates various characteristics related to connectivity to social services
Makes it easy to switch between multiple environments (production, development, etc..)
Isolates complexity related to authentication mechanisms
The application code is agnostic of the underlying authentication mechanism
No more demo/poc code that should be revisited later
Complex authentication flows are handled seamlessly by the SDK
Currently supports OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0, and Basic authentication
SSO (LTPA, SAML) are experimentally supported for now
Provides easy to use objects with many code examples
Low level APIs for directly consuming REST services
Higher level objects with advanced capabilities (caching, etc.)
Hide some platform specific requirements (ie: OpenSocial XHR API, Portlet APIs, etc...)

Social Business Toolkit SDK – Samples
The SDK comes with several sample applications
JavaScript code snippets
Java code snippets
Full-fledged ACME Airlines demo application
Shows the use of social capabilities within an existing application
JavaScript developers experience
The SDK is included with a single line of code
A script tag pointing to the toolkit
Uses the AMD notation for maximum performance and modularity
The JavaScript contains many easy to use functions
Uses existing libraries (Dojo, JQuery) under the cover, but exposes a library agnostic API
Comprehensible, customizable Dijits
Java developers experience
Add the jar files/OSGI plug-ins to your development
Works on J2EE and Domino servers
And uses any of the APIs
Supports web and stand-alone Java client applications
The Java and JavaScript APIs are consistent

Edit the samples and test your changes
Eventually, deploy the pre-configured TOMCAT instance
Unzip the provided zip file on a Windows/Linux machine
Include SDK libraries in your application
Add jars to web application or deploy SDK feature to Domino
Include the SDK JavaScript libraries in your application pages
Configure endpoints
The SDK is a Collaborative, Open, Social Project
We want your feedback
Let us know what is good, what is not and what you'd like to see
Help us building the roadmap
Tell us about your priorities
We want your active participation
Participate to the community
Report bugs, and eventually solutions
