[opensocial] OK, javascript, I get it. But can I use server-side?

I've been reading the docs. I understand that a social gadget is a javscript thingy that can be run anywhere. I can get the social network information for the person, their friends, etc. But what is the most effective (and recommended) way to connect with MY backend? So I've got these

[opensocial] Re: Question To Google

Well, for me, and I imagine many developers, the priorities are simple: 1) allow us to start early or at the same time as other developers, to have a fair chance to spread 2) Implement notifications or some kind of similar mechanism to reach users outside of the app, so it can grow virally

[opensocial] Any tips for new open social developers?

Hey everyone, I'm just getting started but I wonder if anyone has any good tips for new developers. For instance... The sandbox on Orkut doesn't seem to be refreshing my app. I've tried reinstalling my app but it seems to be getting cached. Is there a trick to getting Orkut to refresh the app?

To access server-side stuff, we'll have to use our own forms and AJAX. There are no built-in calls in OpenSocial for communication to your site. On Nov 2, 2:42 pm, EGreg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been reading the docs. I understand that a social gadget is a javscript thingy that can be

[opensocial] Cache

Just saw in another thread about caching issues and using bpc=1 to force reload. However, using bpc parameter didn't really solve the problem. OpenSocial is very new so we don't want to go crazy right now, but some help regarding caching issues would be appreciated here or on the main API page.
