Facebook application development - which option, and may I use jQuery?

Question

I have read the documentations at Facebook. I have browsed through books on Facebook development and I am reeling from the options, restrictions. There is MockAjax, FBML, FBJavascript and the PHP API. And then there is an option of launching the application from inner frame.

I guess there are 2 questions. When do you use the FB options, and is it possible to run my own PHP page using jQuery with the inner frame option?

Answer 1

I prefer the PEAR module Services::Facebook, and of course jQuery.

Most of the FB options are hooks for FBConnect, etc. They are handy, but with any agile software project, get the base functions done, then scale.
