Learn How to Make Facebook Applications

As I pointed out in my How to make money with Facebook post a few weeks back, most of the money being made on Facebook is because of Facebook applications.

Create a Facebook application like Top Friends, which has almost 3 million active users, and you could be into some serious Internet dough.

To date more than 80,000 developers have created over 6,000 Facebook applications.

Facebook Application Developers in High Demand

Do a search on any of the major job search sites for ‘facebook developer’ and you’ll see just how large the demand for developers is. Many large companies are paying top dollar to developers who have the know how to build Facebook applications.

Stanford offers Facebook class

Stanford’s computer science department is offering a course on creating Facebook applications. Class started on Sept. 27 and has over 100 students enrolled. I imagine that many more computer science and digital media programs will begin offering similar courses in the near future. They’d be crazy not to.

You can follow the Stanford course online at this Facebook Group.

Facebook application development resources

I have created a list of resources for those who can’t take the Stanford course but still want to learn how to create Facebook applications.

Facebook developers area - Documentation, resources, tools and news for Facebook developers provided by Facebook. They say it is ‘Everything you need to get started building Facebook applications.’

Facebook application basics - A brief overview of the fundamentals to building a Facebook application.

Facebook application tutorial - Excellent information and a great tutorial on how to create a Facebook application using Ruby on Rails.

Now go create the next great Facebook application.
