do you have own app?
alex
@alex: yes, but how is that related to your question?
Piskvor
need advice of expirienced developers...
alex
Then you're at the right place here on SO :)
Piskvor
@Alex you may be better off trying to hire someone than doing it yourself, depending on the complexity of the project, your motivations, background, etc.

i have another aim
alex
is a better resource where i can ask question? or stackoverflow better?!
alex
@Alex I suggest you read some of the articles I posted and look at Piskvor's link. I'd try to understand as much as possible, dabble around for a while, and then give us more specific questions. Otherwise, you can always try the Facebook developer forums; but there, make sure you've read anything you can find on the subject because they're not very friendly there if you're not putting forth effort.
Jan Kuboschek
okey, thank you.
alex
SO is good, but you need to ask *specific* questions. Asking "I need to build an application, how?" will get you a "go read the documentation, try to *actually* build an app, come back when you have specific problems". Show us that you actually put some effort into it, and you may get a useful answer.

You can use pretty much any language, with PHP being one of the most popular ones (after all, Facebook was written in PHP). In order to get started, check out one of the following introductory articles on Facebook app development.
