People are spending an increasing amount of time on social networks. Facebook is arguably the most popular worldwide social network and offers a simple API for offering your applications to tens of millions of users with Facebook accounts.

This 67 page PDF will get you up and running with the Facebooker plugin. You’ll learn to install and configure the plugin. You’ll send HTML, Javascript, and images to Facebook (with caching). You’ll learn about the parts of Facebook that you can augment. Finally, you’ll learn how to write tests for your Facebook application.

BONUS! Includes a 10 minute screencast that shows how to create and configure the demo application on Facebook.

The open source Ruby Footprints application is used as an example, with code available on GitHub.
