    me again, so I clicked on their "green" get started button and it takes me to a page that says to click and "go to the facebook developer app" This URL takes you to www.facebook.com/developers, when I click it just redirects me to my facebook profile homepage.

    is the book out of date already?

    Facebook changed their developers page just last week without warning me -
    I'll try to see if I can update that on the book's Facebook Page.

    what is the URL for the official page where you will have book updates?

    thanks

    I'm going to try to at least have links at http://page.fbmlessentials.com.
    If it's necessary we have more than that it will be at
    http://fbmlessentials.com. I'm making a list of these inaccuracies due to
    the new design and will make sure those are addressed. For now keep
    checking http://page.fbmlessentials.com and I'll make sure you're updated.

    Hi, I just receive the FBML book and am trying to go through the "Hello World" "step 2".

    I created an FB account, set it up as a developer account.

    I don't see a "get started" in pink, nor can I find this "add facebook developer" icon

    Your welcome Jesse. This is the new handbook and required reading for any programmer that wants to create a facebook app.

    Great Job!

    It's about time we have a book about developing platforms for social networks. I will be sure to buy a copy of this book and learn how to code those applications myself. And of course, I'll be letting you know about the feedback! Two more days to go!

    I'm glad you're excited, Bernie - I'm looking forward to your feedback!

    Jesse - Congrats! We've been waiting for this book. Looking forward to digesting it.

    Congratulations Jesse! I'm pretty excited about the possibilities for Facebook apps. I've talked to several people lately who are using them as to showcase their development skills.

    Edit: Just noticed this is a few months old. Thanks for confusing me, FriendFeed! I still think FB development is a fun niche.
