Hello,

I’ve published a new how-to tutorial that shows you how to develop  
a Facebook application using Ruby on Rails running in the Facebook  
canvas using Facebook Markup Language (FBML). In the tutorial we will  
create a mini-version of 43Things running inside Facebook that lets  
you and your friends post your goals (e.g. Learn Spanish in Mexico  
City. See Polar Bears Up Close. Take Thai Cooking Course in Bangkok  
and so forth) and add comments.

Read more @ [http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/tutorial](http://rfacebook.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/tutorial)

```
Cheers.

```

Any comments, corrections or additions about the tutorial on  
developing a Facebook application using Ruby on Rails? Send them along  
to the rfacebook Mailing List/Forum @  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rfacebook](http://groups.google.com/group/rfacebook)
