preferred language and library for Facebook development

I am a C and Java programmer with a lot less work experience in other languages. Which platform, language and library do you suggest for Facebook development? I am seeing that we can do this in any language and that there are many people doing this in Java. I wo开发者_运维知识库uld like to get some feedback from experienced hands.

I've used RestFB (Java), and it works pretty well. And it supports both the legacy rest API, and the new graph API.

This Java library has good facebook API support - http://code.google.com/p/facebook-java-api/

I would suggest developing in whatever language you are best at!

I have been investigating about Java libraries for Facebook.

RestFB is pretty easy to use, and Facebook4J seems to be good too but does not support Graph API.

I was using RestFB till I had to subscribe to Facebook Real Time Updates and find out that neither of those two provide support for them.

So my suggestion is, if you will not need updates in real time, you can use any of those, but if you do, try this one:

Spring. http://projects.spring.io/spring-social-facebook/

I've done a good amount of Facebook development in Rails and it was fine, but I'd have say that PHP is the language that Facebook supports the best. There seem to be more well-maintained PHP libraries, examples, code snippets out there than anything else. Obviously your Java experience is a consideration, and as primarily a Rails developer I have a hard time recommending PHP over Rails, but I definitely spent time porting solutions/workarounds from PHP.
