Still going

Some setbacks with my Facebook app means it's still not ready ... but it's very close. I was having drama's on the live web server. Most of the issues are because I'm using Java and Struts2. I could have taken the easy way out and run the whole app in an iFrame, but if in future I want an FBML app then I'd need to go through this pain, so I may as well do it now. Besides, using FBML allows me to leverage the Facebook look and feel, which makes the app look that much more professional and a part of the platform.

I'm thinking I have a day or two to go with this app, then I'll turn my attention back to MLTA to finish off a couple of bits and get it deployed for Beta. I also have to do a website for SCV and a few other bits and pieces associated with that. When those are out of the way, I might write an eBook on Facebook apps using Java, Struts2, Spring and Hibernate. Maybe.
