Here’s a quick update about my little ColdFusion/Facebook framework. It’s burning up all of my spare time and I could probably rabbit on about it all year, it’s been fun. I’m definitely no natural at blogging, but I do want to get the word out on this one, so here goes a wee news update;
Release Status
Alpha3 has just gone out to a few interested people. The compliments are most encouraging (thanks peeps!) however no bug reports means it clearly needs more users. It’s in no way stable but I’m happy for anyone else to try it. Just drop me a line ;)
Sites and Sounds
I’ve purchased domain names and will probably settle on coldface.org. And why not, it’s catchy. It currently points to the ColdFace category on this blog. I just started up a generalized Facebook group on ColdFusionCommunity.org so please do join if you’re interested in Facebook app development. There’s some documentation on the wiki, it’s on assembla.com and I will probably use them for SVN too. Sorry the doco is sketchy and already needs some re-editing, doh!
In my next post I’ll talk about the basic features and the road ahead.
Whatever domain you settle on, just be sure to get all of the top level names (ie: .com, .net, and .org). That way, you won’t get someone registering something and having users redirected to the wrong site inadvertently.
Thanks Rey, alas I wasn’t able to get the .com. But I did get .org .net and .info. I’m not made of money so I’ve done what I can. Any thoughts on securing the .com inexpensively?
I would like to be added to your testers please.
I would be keen to test something too.
Hi MrBuzzy, could I possibly be a tester, please?
Many thanks.
Thanks for the interest, I’m on holiday at the moment :)
I need to fix it up after some recent changes on the Facebook side. I hope to do a new blog post about it soon.
Is there any chance with will be updated anytime soon to support the new Facebook API?
Any code available anywhere?
Thanks in advance.
