[Facebooker-talk] Testing and Mocking

[Heavy Sixer]

Hey Simon,
I recently posted an article on just this topic; how to configure  
"Custom Environment for Facebook Development" on my blog:
http://locusfoc.us/2008/4/18/custom-environment-for-facebook-development

This is pretty rudimentary stuff but it is helpful if you are  
developing with more than one developer and your application has both  
html and fbml views.
