Since Facebook unfolded itself to application developers, it rapidly turned into an enormous platform. There is a lot of development on this platform going on all across the globe. But today we'll discuss Facebook development from a developer's point of view. Basically, Facebook is based on an open source technology that is PHP, however today this massive social network is capable of targeting nearly every platform, DOT NET being the major target. Most of the Facebook applications are developed on PHP but there are some applications on .Net too, like GINA and MyBioFlick (both by FACEBOOKSTER.com ).
There are several .net libraries (like Facebook.net) available on the Internet to use for the development of Facebook applications and accessing Facebook APIs. These libraries are built on .NET 2.0, but can run on any latest version of the .NET framework. They are designed to support the use of the Facebook API from desktop applications and will expand the use of Silverlight applications. Facebook applications are basically mini applications that embed themselves through plug-ins. Any application can be viewed on the user's homepage which are then shared among user's social network.
For an ASP.NET developer who wants to work on Facebook apps, probability is that he has to face some difficulties. Remember there are no such things like 'shortcuts' in FB application development. Using your existing skills for developing Facebook applications isn't an easy task; you'll have to work on a lot of custom code to handle simple scenarios such as creating a 'send invitation' page.
Facebookster is working on .Net Facebook apps and will be looking to produce some more quality Applications, as we have produced in PHP section.
