Plenty of links on Google. How about this one: http://gathadams.com/2007/06/18/how-to-write-a-facebook-application-in-10-minutes/
Do you know Drupal?! My company White Hat Media used Drupal for a landing page for a client using the Facebook API. I reckon that could be a route to research... Good luck!
Thanks for the link. Where can I find a step by step tutorial (for dummies) for creating a facebook api. I want to add a welcome page with maybe also an iframe embedded.
this tuts are old and not quite working since FB upgraded their OAuth and new Graph API. if you have a FB project in mind contact me via PM I might help you. Basicaly the steps are: Prerequisites: little php and javascript knowledge, webhosting to store your files since FB does not do this... 1. create facebook app and setup name, url, type etc at:http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php 2. if you want to embed your current page or simple new page to FB chose iframe type. no need to make a request of user permissions if you use his public profile data that is - name - gender - location - picture etc, if you need to access friends data and post to walls then you will need to request this: Basic login and request permission looks like this php/js: //Facebook Authentication part $session = $facebook->getSession(); $loginUrl = $facebook->getLoginUrl( array( 'canvas' => 1, 'fbconnect' => 0, 'req_perms' => 'email,publish_stream,status_update,user_birthday, user_location,user_work_history' ) ); $fbme = null; if (!$session) { echo "<script type='text/javascript'>top.location.href = '$loginUrl';</script>"; exit; } else { try { $uid = $facebook->getUser(); $fbme = $facebook->api('/me'); } catch (FacebookApiException $e) { echo "<script type='text/javascript'>top.location.href = '$loginUrl';</script>"; exit; } } 3. Imagination is the limit, read more at: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
It's very important that you will not confuse with some old tutorials because those instructions are not working any more because of new FB API which release april 2010.
