How to create the VKontakte application - from theory to practice

Theory

Before you learn how to create the VKontakte application, let's first understand what is meant by this term. There are only two types of software:

1. Basic. To it it is possible to carry that software which is established on any device working on the basis of logic operations and not changing under any circumstances. Take, for example, your home computer. In addition to the usual operating system that you encounter every time, including a personal computer (for example, Windows OS), there is software such as the BIOS (from the English "Basic Operating System" - the basic system). It is responsible for the correctness and correct operation of everything that relates to a personal computer: a monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, RAM and other things. In the event that something does not work, the BIOS will display an error message on the screen.
2. Application software - any software installed on the computer, for example, it can be all your favorite Windows, Unix or Linux. Any program running under any operating system is an application.

How to create an "VKontakte" application

The VKontakte application is an application software that must perform a function. How do I create an "VKontakte" application? To do this, you must know at least one of the programming languages with which you create programs.

There are many programming languages, for sure you already read a lot of articles about them and now you come in confusion: how to create the VKontakte application if you do not know any of them? But do not worry. Let's hasten to calm you, the creation of applications "VKontakte" - a time-consuming, but workable process.

For programming any web application, only three main languages are used:

1. PHP (Preprocessor Hypertext), which branch out not so long ago from C ++ and develops quite quickly. To learn how to create the VKontakte application, you will need tutorials and tutorials for the language from the most recent and proven sources. On the basis of this language, not only applications are created, but also the most modern and multifunctional websites are written.
2. JavaScript. Most often this language is used to create applications for mobile phones, smartphones and gadgets. You can take this language as a basis. To understand how to create an application "VKontakte" based on Java, you need to understand at least html. Java is not as complex as PHP, and so you can master it yourself.
3. Flash applications. One of the most interesting tools of web programming. To create flash applications "VKontakte" you will need Adobe Flash 2.0 or Flex Builder. But in any case, a beginner can not do without learning ActionScript, which is a high-level language (like PHP), but is used for other purposes. If you are an amateur in programming who has not yet encountered this process and does not know any language, then it will be very difficult for you to understand what ActionScript is.

Despite the variety of programming languages, JavaScript is the most convenient way to create applications of this kind. Note that to create an attractive interface for the VKontakte application, you will need an API ("Application Programming Interface" - an interface for creating applications).

Initially, a beginner may seem an impossible mission to master programming languages. But if you understand in the simplest language html, then you will not be able to create the VKontakte application.
