I'm thinking about creating a facebook app. But i'm not sure about what coding language to use. Does anyone have any reccomendations?
PHP is recommended, and its integration with javascript.

I've built a few iPhone web apps using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and SQL Queries. However, I haven't found a way to access the camera with a web app. If you know of a way to do that, please tell me what to use and how to use it. If there is no way to access the camera with a web app, I realize I'll have to make a regular app. What languages should I start to learn? Instagram is a website, so I'm not entirely sure how they did what they did.
So my question is, if I wanted to built an app similar to instagram (where I could access the camera), where should I begin?
What languages should I learn?
Thanks ahead of time.
PhoneGap might be the right tool for you.
PhoneGap is an HTML5 app platform that allows you to author native
applications with web technologies and get access to APIs and app
stores.
See this reference on its camera API.
I want to develop facebook iframe application and I have working experience of .NET and PHP. Can anyone help me figure out which is best SDK to use ( .NET or PHP). Which is better to use?
If you're best with PHP, I'd recommend using the official Facebook PHP SDK, otherwise you may want to check out Microsoft's Facebook SDK or Facebook's C# SDK.
I haven't has a chance to mess around with any .net SDK...
But, as far as Facebook SDK's go - the php one is quite satisfactory. I would try it first, then if you are not happy with it - go to the other one.
I think PHP is better than other, beacuse facebook is already using php in a development process...
I would recomend based on your command on the programming language. Both have SDKs to use facebook.
If you have good knowlege in both, better suggestive is PHP over .NET
is it possible to create a UI for a facebook app using qooxdoo or anything similar?
Thx, Sven Koluem
Yes, you can use Javascript frameworks with Facebook, it is a little bit tricky but possible. If you use qooxdoo or any other library in iframe, there is no problem. But if you want to use them in native code, then you have problems.
Here is a link about using Jquery in Facebook apps:
http://userscripts.org/topics/23292?page=1#posts-103426
I googled and I can't find it is possible, someones said that j2me don't support REST communication or there are problems with login.
Is it possible?
Sure, it's definitely possible. There are plenty of examples of Twitter and Facebook Java code.
Update: I missed that the question was about J2ME. While it looks like none of the existing Twitter and Facebook libraries would work, you can make HTTP connections in J2ME, so REST queries should be possible.
I am thinking about developing a fairly simple facebook application which i have modelled the database in access.
I have web space and mySQL databases available, but I was wondering if anyone could point me towards any guides for facebook development? I had a search a while back, but they all seemed rather out of date. Anyone know where I should start with this?
I don't want to really share exactly what my idea is, but its a rating system for a particular set of products.
I haven't done much PHP before, only edited my wordpress template, and I do know enough SQL I hope.

No need to go through a bunch of small tutorials when you can find out just about all you can do through this book. It seems to be lacking on building a facebook app with an iframe though.
