At the moment, you can go to http://apps.facebook.com/developmentqa if you are a... Facebook developer (i.e., you've added the Developer app). That code is currently the book's code without changes running on the beta software. You can see that it all works.

When I started writing about Facebook, I had to convince people that it wasn't just something kids used...
The headline may perhaps be a bit too..."headliney." The mad rush to create the next great mass-market Facebook app seems over. Apps of substance are chugging along quite nicely, thank you...
