I found this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/454051/good-resources-on-facebook-programming, but it haven't solved my problem.

I'm new to facebook development, and also new to PHP & Javascript (Facebook Apps use these languages, yes? I have some experience in C#/.NET, it would be great if I can use them). I need some "basic" books that tell me how to do things, step-by-step.

Can you suggest me some good books in Facebook development for beginner? Thanks in advance.

You can write facebook apps in the language of your choice, as there are unofficial client libraries for tons of languages: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/User:Client_Libraries

I'd also suggest reading the getting started section of http://developers.facebook.com

Since you already know programming, then i believe learning from video tutorials is much better than reading a book (it works for me mostly) so i will suggest vtc video tutorials. Also taking Video lectures of PHP from them would be great help, since they are not teaching php in facebook tutorials.
