5.0 out of 5 stars Finally an up-to-date book about FB Apps, May 10 2011
By Steve C - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Facebook Application Development For Dummies (Paperback)
Great information! At the time of this review this was the only book I could find about Facebook apps that was up-to-date with all the changes to the Platform. It covers a lot of information on a wide variety of subjects, but all relevant to Facebook Apps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best techbook purchase in years, Jun 2 2011

This review is from: Facebook Application Development For Dummies (Paperback)
If you, like me, are just getting started in facebook app development you should buy this book right now. (I have no relationship to the author.)

The state of fb development is a moving target and this book has tons of the latest info. It will save you from having to do the site-by-site, blog-by-blog detective work to figure out how to do things.

I was getting really frustrated looking for thorough and up-to-date information and finding this book was a huge relief.

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated, April 24 2012

This review is from: Facebook Application Development For Dummies (Paperback)
Good book, but it's really outdated at this point. And Facebook has great documentation. You really don't need to read a book to develop a facebook app.
