Facebook application hosting?

I looked at the FaceBook developers page and found that you can create a FaceBook application, but this application must be organized by you!

I'm a beginner, does anyone have any experience?

Yes, you must have an external server for Facebook. Basically what you do is you give facebook the url of your application. When someone tries to view it from facebook ( http://app.facebook.com/yourAppName/ ), he will send a request along with some special keys for verification to your application server. All your code is on your hosting server, and from there you can make facebook API / web service callbacks to get any necessary data. You can then return any UI / HTML / FBML markup to the response, and facebook will display it.

There are tons of pre-written libraries for several languages ​​on Facebook. For example, Facebooker for Ruby.
