I want to build an application that gets updates from online websites like Twitter or Facebook. Currently, I haven't even got a clue on how to do this.
Also, in certain applications, like Doodle Jump, I have seen updates that pop up. Some other applications have a news section that gets updated often. How is it done? Any tutorial or working code will be very helpful.
There is a good tutorial I used to do this with ASP.NET.
I'm going to guess that you are interested in building an iPhone app. I don't know if you have any experience working with objective-c or the iPhone SDK, but here is a nice tutorial that touches on some of the concepts you will need.

Right, I just feel the need to get this off my chest before I explode.
I have made an app using phonegap which actually works very smooth as it's using SVG and very simple but I feel this could be a very addictive little game. the only thing that is letting it down is that I want the user to be able to share their score on Facebook.
Facebook Connect plugin for Phonegap is the worst pile of crap I have ever come across. This is the millionth time I have come back to an Idea, thinking this plugin would have over time (I'm talking years) would have a simple step by step clear set of instructions on how to install but I have NEVER been able to get this working. Before anyone comments on "well why dont you post the errors" theres no point, every time it's a different problem, everyone on the internet cannot get this thing working it's pointless so please, I beg of you can you not post "there is a plugin which can do this easily", it CANT!!
Right, now my rant is over... I have come across this little plugin https://github.com/ccoenraets/OpenFB which, on the face of things does what it says on the tin. My only problem is, (again no clear documentation anywhere on the web for setting up a Facebook app for someone who has never done it before) I dont know what platform to add and what settings to set.
Can anyone state, for a Phonegap application making HTTP requests to the Graph API, what the following should be:
Platform
App Domain
The Platform Basic Settings
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated
Regards
I am using OpenFB successfully (almost..)
You don't need any special permissions for android application defined in facebook application. Just copy openfb.js library and look at example code.
EDIT: actually I had small erorr in logic which caused me trouble, it wasn't openfb's error.
I am new to iPhone development. I’ve added Facebook sharing functionality and I also want to add the Like feature from Facebook. I’ve followed one of the examples; it works if Facebook sharing functionality hasn’t been implemented, because some files create contradiction (specifically FBRequest.h). But I want to add both sets of functionality at the same time. Any suggestions?
If you are new then its not a issue. Everybody have same brain. So its not a big issue. Check

First of all understand it then implement it. I know you will surely implement this in Your
App. Best of luck.
I am looking for tools that I can attach to the app that would allow me to test the user interface. I was thinking about something like a click map to see where users are touching in the application, or any other visual tools that help improving the touch and feel of the app. I am not referring to analytics like Flurry or Localytics. I am looking for something more like crazyegg.com but for iphone apps.
I am using heatma.ps in my apps. It lets you test where people touch in you application, which buttons are used more then other. It's pretty good about showing you what gestures users make on your application screen, like if they are trying to scroll down.
You would be surprised how people use your interface. I know I was shocked the first time I found that people don't see the help button that I spend hours to implement with help snippets. Oh well, people are different :-)
I'm trying to learn iphone app. development. Can someone direct me to a tutorial that explains how to add a button which loads a webpage.
Thanks so much

p.s. you won't get far if you can not find a simple information like that using google.
Most likely you'll have a lot of questions - try to look into Apple sample applications.
I am new to iPhone development, I wonder where could I find:
1) the best tutorials to start iPhone programming
2) info or code about how to submit info to a website (example search query to google) and get data back (show summary of query results on iphone)
Thanks
Well Stanford University has a whole EXTREMELY helpful iTunes U series on the iPhone development process. That should help you. Good luck and HAVE FUN.
As a new iPhone developer myself, I've found apple's sdk documentation to be the best for learning. The iPhoneCoreDataRecipes package has been my go to for figuring things out. It's got a little bit of everything in it.
I tried to do web tutorials - there are a ton out there, just search iPhone tutorial on the web or on SO - but I found most of them lacking.
There are a couple of classes that you can you use to retrieve a web request. NSURLConnection will be the best one for making POST requests, and if you're querying restful services initializing an NSString with a URL is the easiest method.
