What are the most helpful OpenSocial tutorials and videos to learn from?

Question

There are many tutorials and videos which Google and other people have created to help educate on how to build applications using Opensocial as well as understand the container architecture.

A cursory search yields a lot of information. However I would like to know what tutorials exist which people think stand out in terms of showcasing how to create OpenSocial apps, especially those which have up to date and interesting example code.

Answer 1

I have so far read and used Google's tutorials -- they have been helpful. Except of course the part where you want to play Flex SWF in a container. I had to do lots of digging to get that right.

Answer 2

Try:

and

http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=Articles_%26_Tutorials

hope that helps! :)

Answer 3

The videos from Google I/O are fantastic. I attended last year and found the sessions tremendously helpful. The fact that Google then publishes all the content for free is amazing.

Here's the link to the social track specifically:
