If you know some basic scripting and database coding you’re well on your way to creating your own social networking game craze. The next time you’re on facebook go to the bottom of the screen and click on the Developers link, then under the Get Started heading click on How to Build an App for the step by step tutorial.
The background says you’ll need to know PHP or some other scripting language that has a client library for the facebook API. You also should be familiar with the workings of the internet as well as SSH for secure encryption, MySQL for database control and the Unix operating system.
There’s the usual wiki and blog to share helpful hints, inspiration etc. If any of you have developed one of these cool apps how about sharing your story with the rest of us? And if any of my facebook friends reply back to me on that network I’ll comment here as well. Sound like a plan? Great. Now, let’s hear what you’re into.
