Hi, these articles have really been of a great help for developing my applicatio on facebook. I am very new to facebook, I have a fan page and an application on facebook. I want to know if I can add a BECOME A FAN button on my facebook application which would allow users to become fans of both application and my fan page. Any help is appreciated.

@FB user – no, she never got around to doing one. A lot of the features of FB have changed since she wrote this.

The download is very small – its just a zipped file of the library scripts.

I’m not sure I understand your other two questions – there isn’t an application creator. You create the application using whatever scripting language you’re using – PHP, ASP, etc. You host the script files on your own web server.

sorry to ask you so many questions, but I only have very few more. Also thanks for helping me out and being paitent with me.

1.) will that download slow my computer down? (normally downloads slow my computer down)

2.) Do I have to sign up for anything to create this app or can I make it through facebook?

3.) How exactly do I get to the application creator?

The only thing you have to download (and then upload to your server) is the Facebook library of the language you’re using – but you do need that.

Is it possible for me to make an app without downloading anything?

Just wanted to offer up a big “thank you” for this series; I’m in the middle of writing my first Facebook App and seeing exactly what I’m up against has helped a lot.

Rock on!
