Is anyone here capable of making a facebook application?

[Q]

Title says all.

Should be actually very, very simple to do. Does anyone have experience with Facebook apps?

What kind of idea is it?

 

[Q]

Well, without giving too much away, it has to do with audio. No, not music.
And nobody else has anything similar to it.

Just thought I'd ask.

While personally I don't dabble in their API, the complexity of building any kind of app really involves what it'll be doing a good bit.

Best of luck though. =)

What do you need to know?

They aren't too hard to create if you have programming experience. You can even throw your app in an iframe and basically code the whole thing in PHP ifj you don't want to get too deep into the Facebook Markup Language.

I don't have programming experience, which is why I created this thread. I am looking for a partner more or less to help me with and and split the revenue. I could go to Freelancer and sites like that but I would rather do it with somebody I would 'know' instead of a random person from India.

What your application does will determine whether or not someone can write it for you

Facebook applications are easy enough to write though.

 

[Q]

Any others? The idea has nothing do with audio anymore, my new idea is much more useful.

I could devote 5-10 hours a week. Do you have a business plan or is this just an app that you will release as open source? What are your revenue streams?

I've been dabbling with the API, its pretty straightforward. You can basically get anyone who knows web development and they'll be able to pick it and start making the app within a day or two.

I actually started playing with it a while back. It's relatively easy.

Here's the trick they never tell you: unless you have a good reason to use FBML, don't use it. IFrames are much more convenient.
