So you want to develop Facebook pages?

The best place to start is at the Facebook documentation!

In “the old days” you needed to learn how to use a special markup language called FBML (like HTML, but different 🙂 )
– which you can actually still use: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/

But WAIT! Now you don’t really need to. You can do quite a lot with the techonologies you know, i.e. normal HTML in a sort of iframe.
Check this out: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
Hooking into Facebook-stuff can be done using some Javascript: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/

If you want to integrate Facebook into your own website, this is where to go -it’s quite easy actually:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web

BUT WAIt there is more! If you just want to make your own special tabs, you don’t actually need to make your own app! You can just use an excisting FBML Application, that lets you use simple HTML too!

– How to show/hide content to “fans” (people who likes your shit): http://www.hyperarts.com/blog/facebook-fan-pages-content-for-fans-only-static-fbml/
and see  FAQ – problems/solutions for help..

More info on making effects on the Static FBML pages: http://www.snipe.net/2009/10/mini-site-facebook-static-fbml/– and some demos here: http://www.facebook.com/snipe.net?v=app_7146470109#!/snipe.net?v=app_10339498918

(By the way you will soon (perhaps now when reading this?) be able to use iframes inside your Static FBML application tabs on your Pages as well! http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/402 (You already could on “real” canvas applications.)

Showcase of Facebook pages: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/07/07/designing-a-facebook-fan-page-showcases-tutorials-resources/ (including a lot of resources etc. fro building these).

Here are even more tips and tricks: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/tips-tricks-for-your-business-facebook-fan-page/ – I’m afraid some of it are already/soon outdated, because it relays heavily on the FBML stuff..
