Tour to Barcelona







We spent our Easter holiday in Barcelona and this was an advise from a colleague. I found Barcelona a friendly city and a good destination for families with small kids.

Barcelona has currently the biggest Aquarium in Europe (L'aquarium De Barcelona), while I knew recently that a new bigger aquarium is being build in Crete.

The aquarium lies on Barcelona beach and you can find there a shopping center (mall) also a teleferic tower (Telefèric de Montjuïc) is very close that takes you the the magic mountain.

The kids enjoyed Barcelona zoo, a family can spend a whole day there and enjoy the dolphin show and there is a great playground in addition to electrical cars and horse riding.

The Zoo is located in the biggest park in Barcelona (Parc de La Ciutadella), in this park you can hire a boat and cruise with the kids in the lake. Also the park has many activities especially on Saturdays where kids can enjoy face drawings etc. The park has also a lot of playgrounds.

You can also enjoy shopping anywhere you go in Barcelona, Barcelona has many shopping centers (malls), in Maria Cristina for instance and also in Catalunya Square. Also throughout the Diagonal Av. Street there are huge number of shops.

Finally there is a tourism bus network where you can buy a daily ticket, this bus has a second floor open space, this bus goes all around Barcelona

The New Facebook Wall Publishing method Stream.publish

As recently facebook stopped supporting the feedstory publishing method to publish news on users wall and application developers from now on can't create feed templates. Facebook released a new methods to do so which are: FB.Connect.streamPublish stream.publish Facebook.streamPublish I figured out those new methods when I was building a new facebook application yesterday to predict who will win the soccer match between Egypt and Algeria tonight. It took me sometime to succeed in publishing the story on the wall, so I will share with you my experience and how I solved it out in Coldfusion. As I build my applications using the work of Andrew Duckett who created the Facebook Rest Client Component , I will start from FacebookFBMLCLient.cfc file which contains the methods that communicates with facebook APIs. As I have used one of the three methods above which sounded the best as I guess, this example will be based on stream.publish method. The first step is to add the following method...
