Just wondering if anyone here has done any programming with Facebook Connect.

I'm your creativity creator™ :)

I'm not a fan of those "sign in with (insert service of choice here)" buttons popping up everywhere. You basically create an authentication token for a user's account to provide another service free realm over your account and profile data.

 

Look at the sample app at http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php and from what I see there, you can pretty much just convert the PHP code to whatever you're using, or include it in your application. Then you just have to check the signon signature, the auth token and the linked user ID with the relevant entry for your application. facebook.php and facebookapi_php5_restlib.php pretty much give it away how it works.
