It seems like our app isn’t one that demands a lot of coding but is still quite complicated for a short development time span of two weeks.
FYI, we are building an e-commerce app in Facebook with a different concept from Marketplace.
Why do I say it’s complicated? Because it involves a lot of thinking and discussions to get the flow right. We have tiny bits of code here and there, each doing small little tasks. They don’t have much complicated code with maybe a few interesting SQL queries, but they are starting to add up to the overall complexity of the project.
The other challenge is merging the 101 different technologies here. SQL, FQL, FBML, AJAX, PHP, REST, JSON… PIE, AYE, BKE, KPE, KJE, ECP… ayiah.
Looks like we’re going to be spending more sleepless nights. Might have to forgo some features and the database tuning and indexing for now!

This is key learning point of the class in my opinion. Not the 101 different technologies. You don’t figure this out, give you 102 technologies also no point. 🙂

Without doubt you should do this.
