Facebook Developer Tools

Abstract

Now that we have covered the very barest of basics of setting up the infrastructure for a Facebook application, I turn attention in this chapter to leveraging the Facebook platform, with special attention to their developer tools. Developing complex applications for Facebook is perhaps more difficult than other platforms because of all the moving parts. Being able to quickly determine what piece is broken, from your server code that interacts with Facebook’s APIs, to issues with your JavaScript, to issues with the Facebook Platform itself, will go a long way to help you quickly determine what is going on with your application.
