Finishing Up My First Facebook Application
October 9th, 2007 by Matt HugginsI’ve been working fairly diligently over the past several weeks to get my first Facebook application up and running. I was originally hoping to have most of the work done last Monday (a little over a week ago), but I realized that was too soon to completed everything. As I finished certain tasks and resolved various issues on my to-do list, I had to add other items to my to-do list in the process. I’m finally at the point where I feel confident that all my programming work that I wanted to put into the first release of this project will be completed this week, likely by the end of Wednesday.
Once I feel that the development of my application will begin, I’ll be rigorously testing the functionality as if I were a new user to ensure everything works correctly. On top of testing the functionality from start to finish, this also includes tinkering with URL’s to ensure that users can’t break anything important.
As soon as I release my application, I will post the full details about it here, and I will be contacting an assortment of Facebook-related blogs that I have come across in the past. As other blogs include any press releases about my app, I’ll be sure to include links here for anyone who is interested in following the scope of its publication. I am optimistic that a large number of potential users will have the opportunity to discover this Facebook application through a variety of sources so long as I remain diligent in my efforts to contact other website authors.
In addition to contacting other websites, I’ll be sending app invites throughout Facebook (although I believe the daily invitation limit is set to either 10 or 20 per user), and I’ll post links for my Facebook friends to see in their News Feeds.
I’m started to get excited to share all my hard work with those of you who are interested!

Thanks! It’s always nice getting words of encouragement.
I’m hoping to wrap up everything (coding, testing, etc.) for an official announcement here on Monday morning.

Whoa - another FB app…! I’m always game to try something new - just so long as my business partner doesn’t find out, don’t want her knowing I spend too much time in FB instead of working!
