THIS ARTICLE IS IN DEVELOPMENT
Welcome to Facebook MVC!
Obviously, if you were able to find this article you are interested in developing Facebook applications using the Model, View, Controller (MVC) design pattern! If this is truly what you'd like to do then you've come to one of the right places!
There are a few things that you'll need to have before you can get started.
1. Visual Studio 2008
2. ASP.NET MVC Preview 3
3. Facebook Developer Toolkit 1.6
4. My Facebook Developer Toolkit MVC Addon
The focus of this article is on how to setup a Facebook application using a MVC approach using ASP.NET. The Facebook Developer Toolkit (FBDT) is a great resource for people that are interested in developing a Facebook .NET application. FBDT is basically a .NET wrapper of the Facebook API. Unfortunately, the current approach taken by the FBDT for building web applications is straight WebForms & as such they use a class inheritance model which does not support an ASP.NET MVC application easily. The Facebook Developer Toolkit MVC Addon, makes supporting a Facebook ASP.NET MVC application a bit easier by adding support for web.config based configuration, & pre-controller-execution FacebookAPI setup via an Action Filter.
Please bear with me as I add more details to this article & to CodePlex
