How to Do Everything: Facebook Applications Links are moving--should be up later today. (It's all related to the release of FileMaker 10 and the new book--sorry about that.)

As we approach the magic moment of Facebook users being able to experiment with the new interface, here's a recap of where things are with the book examples:1...
As Facebook moves to the launch of the revised interface, the application adding/authorizing procedure is becoming more refined. New code is due to roll out today (Monday, 7/21).As we knew, users will no longer add applications. Now, they will authorize applications to access their user data...
New metrics were announced on June 17, and were provided in the new PHP library rolled out on June 25...

How to Do Everything: Facebook Applications
For Michael and the question about Facebook platform changes. In a word, yes.
The best way to follow the changes is to subscribe to the Atom feed on http://www.jesses-social-networking-site
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.
There's a new app for the beta software that is going to start appearing in the next day or so. It will incorporate the interface changes. At this point, I'm leaning towards not posting the code itself (just the app) until Facebook makes the changes final. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
The Atom feed from the blog automatically updates the Notes on the book's Facebook Page, but the fastest way to get the changes and comments is to subscribe to the blog.Read More

Here is the new info on the Feed. We'll be updating one of the examples to use it this week. More news as it happens...
Facebook is now planning to update the beta site each Monday. Developers (i.e., anyone who has added the Facebook Developer app) can access it to check out their code. We're checking the book examples to make certain that nothing breaks.
Facebook has launched a sandbox for developers to test out the new profile pages. You need to be a Facebook developer to use it (see Chapter 12, page 192, "Get Started As a Facebook Developer).There are more changes to come in the next few days, but we're getting ready...
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...
