Facebook has become very popular, so much so it even creates new jobs in IT & T industry.   How do I know, I hear you ask.   Have a look at this job ad on CrunchBoard - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchboard.com\/item\/14858770-Now-Hiring%21-Facebook-Application-Developers\">Facebook Application Developers<\/a>.   Companies are looking for skilled Facebook application developers who will help them build popular Facebook apps.  According to the job ad, you will need the following skills to be considered:<\/p>\n<p>* PHP development experience with PostgreSQL.<br \/>\n* Strong background in SQL, JavaScript, XML & XSL.<br \/>\n* Strong knowledge of the PHP5 Object model.<br \/>\n* Working knowledge of XHTML & CSS.<br \/>\n* Facebook API REST-based interface experience.<br \/>\n* Facebook Query Language (FQL) experience.<br \/>\n* Facebook Markup Language (FBML) experience.<br \/>\n* Effective communications skills to interface with non-technical staff to gather requirements.<br \/>\n* Excellent debugging and optimization experience.<\/p>\n<p>I did a search on some popular job search engines in Australia (seek.com.au, careerone.com.au and mycareer.com.au) for the keyword \"facebook\" but no relevant result was found.
