Facebook’s Graph API is the central means for programmatic access to Facebook data. It is the entry point for reading and writing to Facebook’s “social graph”.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
