This week, we sent a reminder about the POST to Canvas migration happening tomorrow and shared how to implement paging via the Graph API and FQL.
No new FBML apps
With our recent launch of Requests 2.0 and the support for iframe on Pages Tabs, we are now ready to move forward with our previously announced plans to deprecate FBML and FBJS as a primary technology for building Apps on Facebook.com (Canvas).
By moving toward iframes instead of FBML for both canvas apps and Page tabs, we are effectively eliminating the technical difference between developing an App on Facebook.com and on the web. This means you can now build apps that run across Facebook (including Pages and Canvas apps) using the same simple, standards-based web programming model (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS).
Starting Friday, March 18th, you will no longer be able to create new FBML apps and Pages will no longer be able to add the Static FBML app. While all existing apps on Pages using FBML or the Static FBML app will continue to work, we strongly recommend that these apps transition to iframes as soon as possible. Lastly, we want to be clear that our deprecation of FBML does not impact XFBML, such as the tags that support social plugins.
