Creating a Facebook application

If I wanted to make an application for Facebook, host it on my server, using Rev Media, how would I do it?

Please offer SPECIFIC code examples of how you would communicate and parse the data from Facebook, and then save it a back end database.

I think a lot of us would like to know how to do this.

Dear TheBigDuck,

I did this and it is a hell of a job. Because one needs to use an iFrame, it is really complicated to talk to the FB API's. I have given up on posting short stories on walls and sending e-mail notifications. Without those features, an FB application with a revLet is just like any FB application that runs in an iFrame.

The database features should be relatively easy. This works just as from within any revLet, regardless of the FB features, as long as you don't want to talk to the FB API's.

Best,

Mark
