Hi there,
It seems that there is a huge demand for Facebook applications. At
least this is what my colleague is trying to convince me about, but
since I have already been approached by a guy interested in this and I
have already written one app - I have seen all the craze of a gold
rush in the Facebook programming forums, it is not that hard to do :)
Are there any Perl programmers freelancing in this market? How do you
host your apps? It is mostly about simple one-page thingies - so the
up-front cost of setting up your own virtual machine to run your own
apache with mod_perl is a bit intimidating.
Load up a decent VM on Amazon. Should all be out of the box. Or any
other cloud provider.
Are you going to give a talk on this?
Got a CPAN module that distils the necessary code?
Is there a ::Simple version?
It was two years ago that I was fighting with Facebook and it's api -
but my notes are still there at the Catalyst wiki:
http://wiki.catalystframework.org/wiki/gettingstarted/howtos/facebook_applications
I don't know how much of that still applies. In general it was
awkward but possible with Catalyst - perhaps something making less
assumptions could be more appropriate - but I have not yet tried
anything else.
Cheers,
Z.
Facebook is switching over to something called the Graph Api (
