My First Facebook App - Wii Friend Number

Yesterday, I took on the challenge of developing an application for Facebook. The application I created is called ‘Wii Friend Number’, and it allows you to easily share your Wii console number with your friends.

Doing so was a new learning experience as I treaded into the mysterious waters of manually creating a mySQL database for my application and having the code I created in PHP interface with it. The beginning was a daunting task, but after a full day’s work, I managed to create an application which did the following:

• Insert a new entry into the database which would be unique to the Facebook user’s id
• Pull up the entry in the database that the user created
• Delete an entry from the database that the user created

I don’t think I will be releasing the app to the public yet as there’s still some extra functionality I’d like to add into it such as searching up friends who’ve also installed the application and entered their console numbers.

If anyone has features they’d like to see in this, feel free to suggest it!
