Hi,

I have created a tutorial on how to integrate Google AppEngine and Facebook.
You can check it out at http://dollarmani-facebook.blogspot.com … tions.html

I used this to create my application
http://apps.facebook.com/guessahead

Hosting using Google AppEngine is free but it has its restrictions. It should be enough to handle pretty large quantities.
Might be a good place to start and move to uncapped hosting service once you have some income.

Please feel free to provide comments.
Cheers!

sounds like it could be really useful, but unfortunately not something I imagine many will consider around here, until google supports anything other than python. I'll check back and hope they expand the support.

Thanks for putting that together, dollarMani, it was definitely helpful in getting started.

Is there any user group or forum specifically for Facebook + Google AppEngine? I imagine there's probably only a handful of developers in the world working on these techs together, and I'm sure we could benefit from swapping knowledge...

I am not sure if there is one specific for Facebook + AppEngine... But this could be a start... Please post up any questions and comments on my blog and I will try to get back to them or at least someone else who has tried it might be able to help... I might put up another page of advanced use of Facebook + AppEngine but I am not sure what to include in it... So if you guys can suggest something that would be great...

Just created this group:

If you're developing Facebook Apps on top of Google App Engine, jump in and say hello!

Here is another app created with Google AppEngine and Facebook

Hey folks.. I created my fb app on appengine as well.. http://apps.facebook.com/argumentum/

I'm having a problem with an 'incorrect signature' certain API calls (using pyfacebook, which I've modified significantly).

In particular I'm having trouble using data.setAssociation. I think this has to do with Facebook asking for "int64" for obj_id1/2 rather than a standard "int" for most other calls.

I am not a web developer, I've done mostly scientific coding. If any of you know how to convert a python int to an int64 value, I'd much appreciate it.

My next aim is to learn app-engine and build scalable applications.

The main reason I want to develop on appengine is to scale up without worries,

Why do you say "Might be a good place to start and move to uncapped hosting service once you have some income.".
Why do you refer to google app engine as capped?

As far as i understand app engine, it should be able to handle as much request as you give it, of course for a high price.
