Does anyone know of an OAuth sample app tutorial that does not deal with Facebook, Twitter etc?
All the samples I can find are bloated with stuff for these sites which for someone trolling through the web trying to learn about this stuff is confusing.
OAuth seems complicated enough but trying to figure out which bits do not apply and which bits do is a minefield...
Thanks

I am developing a flash game and I want to integrate it with Facebook. It should be very simple integration. My app only need username and e-mail address. I searched the web not I still don't know how to do it. It seems to me very complicated.
All I want is to connect my app to Facebook through Actionscript SDK, with few simple functions.
Can someone help me with a code to do that...I'll be very thankful guys :-)
Well, it's a general question, but here are a few links that might help steer you in the right direction. The first link has the SWC library and some examples:
Facebook ActionScript API resources:
libraries and examples
API documentation (though fairly sparse)
Adobe page
On their page, Adobe links to a tutorial / walkthrough for building a mobile Facebook app that's pretty helpful, though it expands on a desktop-based article and references it regularly, so that can be a bit confusing, but it does get the job done.
Then you need to understand the Facebook Graph API - basically Facebook passes around objects that contain data pertaining to the user, their friends, etc (and of course, passing around this data is subject to the permissions your app has setup). Facebook provides an online tool (Facebook Graph API Explorer) that let's you explore these objects for your own account.
Pouring over this information, I got my first flash-based mobile app talking to Facebook in a few hours. There you go, ask a generic question, get a big swath of links to read that are only semi-related to your question. =D
I've been searching for a long while for a framework that will connect my iphone to any site using OAuth, int his case my own site.
I've seen MPOAuthMobile and OAuthConsumer, none of them worked for me and reading the comments many people are having issues.
There are plenty of libraris to connect to Twitter, but could someone tell me if there is a good framework with a good tutorial that explains how to get it done. Even changing an actual framework for twitter to make it work for my site would be great.
Thanks.

How can I post a message on Twitter from my app using OAuth authentication?
I'd like to post an invariable message with a variable link...
How can I do this?
Any source? Any tutorials?
Thanks a lot!
Use an OAuth library such as:
http://github.com/jdg/oauthconsumer
http://github.com/bengottlieb/Twitter-OAuth-iPhone
There are various tutorials out there like:
http://www.jaanuskase.com/en/2010/01/an_example_iphone_twitter_app.html
It can be tricky, especially since twitter has changed since some of the popular iPhone implementations were written, but this will give you a place to start.
I'm looking to generate a bunch of links to add to my tumblr site Planning for Failure for people to share articles on Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Reddit, etc.
I know there are wordpress plugins that do this for you. I've currently added Facebook and Twitter by hand, but I'm guessing there's an easier way to do this.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I have a website where users can buy deals posted by the site owner/admin and I would like to integrate Facebook Connect with it. Can you please answer the following:
What tasks are involved with integrating Facebook Connect?
How difficult would it be for a programmer to integrate Facebook Connect?
How long would it take for an average programmer to integrate Facebook Connect?
I think it's a bit difficult, yes, but it's not impossible. It shoud be about 2-5 days to study, understand, make tests and make it works (it also depends on how much you know of the facebook platfrm):
Here is a tuorial I wrote:
http://www.barattalo.it/facebook-connect-tutorial/
it explains how to give the facebook login and how to post on users' wall.
There are multiple good tutorials available. I would say an average programmer (with some familiarity in JavaScript) would be able to do this fairly easily.
Facebook Connect Wiki
How to quickly add Facebook Connect
I have integrated Facebook Connect into 2 sites and the time it took varied from 3 days to 2 weeks. The time requirement depends on the size of the application you are integrating. It only took me 3 days to integrate Facebook Connect into a new site which did not have any existing users.
Putting in a Facebook connect or login button can be pretty easy now since there are some copy-and-paste solutions out there. If you're looking for a copy/paste solution that does some pretty simple members-only page protection, you can try this Facebook Login tool. It's free and gives some basic analytics, I think.
My point of view Facebook connect can be implemented by average programmer with in 2-3 hours If you aware about Facebook document and sound knowledge of API Key Secret.
Following documents that help for integrating Facebook into websites.
Document use PHP for server-side programming and HTML/JavaScript for client-side code. These examples are very straightforward and easily translatable to other languages.
Facebook Developer Tutorials.
This article shows few steps that describes how to integrate Facebook Connect into your
existing site.
efpa is brilliant for this, its easy to use and saves you hours, it would take you less than 20 min, there is a really good youtube tutorial on this, they use efpa to create a web application, let users connect using their facebook accounts and then present them their home feed, from creating a facebook app to writing the code in 20 min;
