An article appeared on Mashable last week disclosing some of the details about Bebo’s new Open Application Platform; a subsequent article revealed that Bebo’s platform supposedly supports the entire F8 Platform, including FBML. Since Mashable is incapable of actually linking to the actual article that it covered, or anything other than other unintelligble Mashable articles, [...]

Alright, as promised, it’s time for me to reveal my first published Facebook application: ADOOGA Contest of the Day. I’ve started several applications and built many of them to 90% completion, but Vanderbilt’s coursework usually found a way to interfere with my production schedule and forced me to table release until later.
The last 10% [...]

Time to make good on my promise for some new Facebook-related content this week.
I’ve spent the past two weeks grinding away on an Facebook.NET-powered Facebook application that relies on the FBML approach for user interfaces and it’s finally finished.
Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to share some wisdom I accrued during the course [...]

Developing Facebook applications is a trying and frustrating experience for many developers, myself included. My most recent frustration was getting an item to publish to the user’s mini-feed/friend’s newsfeed using Facebook.NET.
Publishing frustrations aren’t isolated to just Facebook.NET; they extend to a lot of Facebook.NET developers out there. Here’s what I’ve learned about how to [...]

I was asked a couple of questions by Allan Hoffman, the “tech jobs expert” at Monster.com, regarding Facebook application development for his piece, “So You Wanna Be a Facebook App Development Star?”. It’s a great read if you’re looking for a great introduction to Facebook applications, and towards the end Allan uses a quote by [...]

Just a quick post for today, but a valuable one nonetheless. I have mentioned before how I prefer developing Facebook.NET applications using the Iframe method of implementation, namely because I didn’t think it was possible to debug FBML implementations on the localhost.
Cameron, an AjaxNinja reader, found the following comment on Nikhil’s blog, which explains how [...]

A week or so ago I wrote yet another post full of Facebook application development tips (and believe me there will be several more to come), and I mentioned using Facebook test accounts to assist in development. After a week or two of actual using the accounts extensively I must tell you that they are [...]

It’s that time again… I’m hard at work on my Facebook application, which I’m not going to discuss the particulars of until I release it, and I’ve got a fresh batch of Facebook application development tips, both from myself and around the blogosphere.

When making service calls in Facebook.NET, leave the “field” specification null - I [...]

It’s about time for an update on Facebook Application with ASP.NET, using Nikhil Kothari’s Facebook API wrapper for ASP.NET, Facebook.NET. If you want to read about why I’m using Facebook.NET instead of the Facebook Control Toolkit then click here.
I’ve spent a lot of time developing my Facebook application this weekend and I have a few [...]

I had the pleasure of attending the Facebook Application Developer’s Garage in San Diego, California on August 23rd. It was hosted by Rodney Rumford of FaceReviews at Microsoft’s local office space in San Diego.
For a brief bit of time we talked with one of the main F8 designers whose name I forget; I bluntly asked [...]
