Hate to say it, but this is par for the course every time Facebook releases new APIs. They move at an insanely fast pace for a company of that size, and there's no free lunch, so the tradeoff is buggy software.
I don't see a lot of first mover advantage with the new stuff, so my advice would be to wait a few weeks.
- arikfr 16y agoIf you have already working app, you can wait a few weeks. But I'm creating a new one - I have no desire to write it using the old libraries now just to rewrite it later. For me (so far) everything was working except that they haven't implemented some very needed features from the old FB JS lib in the new one :(
- jamesjyu 16y ago+1 on the insane fast pace. Their connect team is actually quite small, and they got a bazillion things done for F8.
- tlianza 16y agoI'm definitely not criticizing the developers. Developers are often pressured to release half-baked features for the sake of a PR push on a particular date. However, I don't believe a company should be able to enjoy massive PR attention unless they've also delivered the product they've claimed. As developers, we also shouldn't sell our own time short. Based on the comments here, the low quality of this release has cost several of us some hours/frustration hacking away on a broken platform.
- endtime 16y agoAs the old adage goes: fast, bug-free, or cheap; choose any two.
- cheald 16y agoYou'd think Facebook of all companies could afford to sacrifice "cheap".
