I am currently developing an iphone application which is nearing completion but i want to add in the functionality to be able to connect with facebook. I can grasp the basic functionality of this such as connecting and posting status updates and feeds but id like to be able to interact with friends and events within facebook, much like the flixster movies app where you can view friends ratings etc... Can anyone please point me in the right direction? I am fairly new to this all so i need as much help as possible please.
Thanks
James
Take a look at http://github.com/facebook/facebook-iphone-sdk/
Download this project - it has a facebook connect iphone sdk as well as some example code to walk you through.
Next take a look at developer.facebook.com and go through the apis. You will find apis here to do what you want to do using your iphone app.

I'm new to developing mobile apps, and I'd like some help. I'm trying to create an app that, upon downloading and opening it, tells you nearby Facebook users. Will this have anything to do with the Facebook API? What is the easiest way to do this? Any examples or references would also help a lot.
as far as i know Facebook not have an option to get the friends by coordinate or something like that,
what you can do is create a database that stores your app users location and when a user logs in to your app you show him results by this database.
Hope it Helps.
I have a friend who has completed making a website game using
BASIC/ASP. We're talking the other day and we both think that it would
be cool to make this game available on Facebook.
But the problem is I am not sure where/how to start. Is it
even possible to integrate BASIC/ASP web applications into Facebook
because as I understand Facebook uses Java.
Can anyone gives us a clue or guide on how to approach this
intention?
I'm not sure where you got the idea Facebook uses Java from as this is not the case. Perhaps you were thinking of JavaScript? Nonetheless it is entirely possible to host your game on Facebook - as long as you can already host it on any website. Since Facebook gives you the ability to present the user with content within an iFrame.
Essentially you just need to get your game hosted on a website somewhere and then use this reference to host it on Facebook. If you want to leverage Facebook features such as invites etc then make sure to have a look around the Facebook developers website.
Depending on the route you want to go:

I am developing iPhone app where I need to provide integration with different social media like FaceBook, Twitter, Google etc. I have seen couple of iPhone applications that allow people to login using their existing FB or Twitter accounts and allow to post comments, like/unlike, follow people etc. I want to implement something similar but not sure where to start with. Could anyone please suggest me right direction? Any documentation and sample code would be great help.
Thanks.
http://developers.facebook.com/ has just about all the info you might need.
Further also look in Apples library as it contains sample code and extensive information about most topics.
#AppleDeveloper, check out Socialize; this is exactly the problem we're working to solve: http://www.GetSocialize.com. Full feature list at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
The problem with just putting Facebook into your app is that your download base of users aren't all friends on Facebook. So any sharing in the app using Facebook will only go out to that user's friends.
Socialize lets all users of the app see the social actions other users of the app take, in addition to allowing those social actions to be shared on Facebook (and soon Twitter & Google+ as well). Then we give you a reporting dashboard so you can see the effect of all the social actions on downloads & user engagement: http://go.GetSocialize.com/dashboard
Let me know if this is the type of thing you're looking for.

I am new to Facebook connect.
So can any one tell me how to add facebook with our applications?
So can any one tell me how to add face book with our applications??
Facebook can. http://developers.facebook.com/
Simple things you need to do,
Get face book SDK from following link http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_iPhone_SDK
From here you will get all the information you are needed and you can add all the other informations to load sdk in your applications.
Does anybody know if you can actually pull done messages/comments from facebook into an iPhone app? Every app I see in the app store allows you to post to facebook. I have an app idea that includes actually seeing your friends messages and wanted to see if the SO community has seen anything like this before or if you are able to do this.
Yes, you should be able to do this; FBConnect lets you call all of the Facebook APIs, so you'd want to look at http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Stream.get or http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Comments.get. I haven't done anything with comments directly, but I do have an app that retrieves lists of friends, photo albums, and photos on the iPhone using FBConnect so I think this would be very similar, and it wasn't that hard to do.
