Facebook Widgets Tutorial

Posted by: Mercury Thread In: Facebook| Social Media

This is a plea to anyone who can help us here. We’re looking at building a Facebook widget - purely for vanity. We’ve had a look through the web and found various video tutorials about developing these but so far I’ve not been able to find one which has a step by steo guide for techy folk on how to build these. Its going to involve parsing an RSS feed at some point.

Some of the applications I’ve seen online seem to build them for you - but they dont really offer us the flexibility we’re looking for.

If anyone knows of any good Facebook tutorials, guides or walkthroughs drop us a comment below.

Facebook runs on their new F8 architecture allowing you to build “facebook applications” which are basically a more powerful way of building “widgets”. Think “widgets on steroids hooked into the social architecture of the facebook network engine”. There are some tutorials on http://developer.facebook.com as well as a video of what F8 is and what it can do (last time I was at that site). Don’t worry about the advanced features, if you want to build a simpler widget lacking the networking stuff just leave it out. You can also build custom content panes for any business-related profile you create (which is what I was doing research on for my current employer). Best of luck!
