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.

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 [...]

Today I read another one of Dave McClure’s entries regarding his Graphing Social Patterns conference; Dave’s post was about Facebook Application Monetization, a subject that I’ve covered on a couple of occasions.
One of Dave’s passages struck a particular chord with me:
in the discussion, one of the key items we cover is how Facebook [...]
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 [...]
