Let's start! Create a own Facebook developer account.

So, for the first you must login to Facebook with your account. If you are logged you must go to the facebook developers page and register as a developer. How to do that? Just click on green button "Register now", you can find it on the top of the facebook developers page. It loks like:

After clicking on Register Now button, if you facebook account isn't verified, you must do it. WIthout account verification you cant create own facebook developer account. Facebook has several features in place to limit the potential for spam and abuse on the site. Verifying your personal Facebook account helps you retain control of your account and apps on Facebook. There are two ways to verify your account. First, you can verify your cell phone, which allows us to verify that a real person is in control of the account. Learn about this process. The second way to verify your account is to add a credit card to your account. Unfortunately, if you cannot verify with a cell phone or add a credit card, you may be unable to verify your account. All developers must be verified before they can create a new app. Before you can continue, please verify your account in this case - by providng phone number:

Mobile phone verification:

You must select a correct country code from list, in this case we selected United Kingdom (+44). Next provide correct number of your Phone. If everything is ready, click on Confirm button and wait for sms with confirmation code.

Image above shows SMS code verification page and shows how does SMS looks. Rewrite confirmation code from your phone to verification form and click Confirm button. You can also cancel action or Resend verification code. If everything goes well, you account is now verified. Now you can create own developer account.

Register own Facebook Developer account

Now, when you account is verified you can register your account. So, you must click again on "Register Now" button. In this time you will se dialog box "Become a Facebook Developer" with three steps. In first step you must Accept facebook terms. You can also read about Facebook Platform Policy and the Facebook Privacy Policy - but who cares ;)

So click on "I accept the Facebook Platform Policy and the Facebook Privacy Policy" and click blue button "Continue" to go to the next step of creating developer account.

In second step you must Tell something about yourself. The main thing in this step is selecting correct options from select list and checboxes, which are describing you as a developer. Check correct values and click blue Continue button.

and if everything goes ok you will see:

Yay! You're now a Facebook Developer!

You'll receive a confirmation email. If you have any questions, check out the Docs and Support pages.

Your developer account is now ready. It mean that you can create own Facebook apps!
