  1. Hey guys, I actually have 3 playlists that deal with this. Go to my channel and look for the following:

    Prototyping a Facebook Search Interface (mostly CSS creating a front-end for search)

    Functional Implementation of a Facebook Search Interface (mostly Javascript to interact with Facebook)

    Merging the Components of a Facebook Search Interface (merging front-end CSS with functional Javascript search)

  2. Hey mate, you're talking a lot about getting info from Facebook, any chance you could do a few tutorials on creating a Facebook app, or interfacing with Facebook from my website? I've looked at it but I can't quite get my head around it, and I love the way you teach so thought you'd be great to ask :). Thanks
