It is not as simple to create Vkontakte application as can seem at first. The hard work of the whole design team is behind the minimum interface and with a small capacity of one mini-applet. To pass this path from beginning to end, it is necessary to be configured for serious work.
Develop the application? Easily!
Vkontakte application is a full program for which creation it is necessary to know programming at the "decent" level. If you have this knowledge, then it is obvious that to you will be engaged in application programming much easier. If is not present, then try to study at least bases of such languages as HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and JavaScript. But the most important that in your head and on paper there was an idea of future project.
Anyway, the correct option will be to gather a good team. Be engaged in creation of the serious application which is focused on receiving profit, to one - long and senselessly.
Ideally the state of your command should total from four people. The main link is the programmer - he will develop the code at which, actually, and the application will work. Do not neglect services of the designer as the qualitative interface will be returned a hundredfold to you as a result. Will also not prevent to have in the command the PR-manager who will promote the application, and the copywriter capable to fill the project with content. If you limited means and there are difficulties with search of workers - use the frilansersky exchanges on the Internet.
As Vkontakte applications work
Any Vkontakte application works at one of two available technologies on social network - ActionScript (it is better known as Flash) and IFrame. First of all it is desirable to understand advantages and shortcomings of each of technologies. If to explain distinction it is short, then the application on Flash is a full program, and more often it is used for creation of games. Your project will be stored in the file with the .SWF extension.
IFrame is the website for which it is necessary to buy the domain and to pay a hosting. Pages of this website will be loaded in the application as required. Recently programmers stop the choice on IFrame as "Flash" is considered the growing old technology which can be replaced also with other programming language.
Surely check work of API "VKontakte". This system which simplifies application development on social network and is decrypted as "Application programming interface". In general, it is desirable completely will study the guide to development then not to be surprised to surprises.
Check-in
That Vkontakte application worked, it is necessary to get approval at administration of social network. If it does not correspond at least to one of requirements or to have the nonfunctional interface, you do not get any approval. In any case until you improve the creation. The complexity of this process is that administrators often have no time to explain an essence of the reason on which the annex cannot be published. Therefore it is better to follow rules in advance and to develop the project according to them.
