Doing the dance with Facebook to try and discover the "right way" to connect your code to their service is quite maddening.
The documentation is piss poor, 9 out of 10 searches will be filled with mostly unrelated questions being asked on stack overflow, and facebooks 'official' API's are lacking to say the least. The official python facebook API over at github hasn't been touched in months, has several awesome pending pull requests that are being ignored and is missing functionality... we had to fork it and bolt things on already.
Thats definitely one disadvantage of being first timers to the whole facebook thing. Getting the connection working here has been difficult and has taken a lot more time than we anticipated. Black magic is required.
Dear Facebook, hire a technical writer or two and dedicate them to your various APIs... please?
