A cloud application platform, Heroku is currently the only approved
platform for creating apps within Facebook, and its number of users is
growing at rapid pace. However, there are very few books on the market

its associated core concepts and then goes on to explain how writing

systems. Example applications, additional resources, and advice for
your next steps round out this resource, making it a thorough,
indispensable guide.
