I thought that getting Phonegap, AngularJS and Facebook working together couldn’t be a big jump from the simple quickstart guides available for each of those components. This was probably naïve.
It’s a nightmare
If any part of the above are new to you, starting out can be confusing and poorly documented. If, like me, you’re a newbie with both Phonegap and Angular… it’s worse.

As I never really found an article or post with my exact goals and a full explanation all in one place, hopefully this one might make the process less of a time sink for anyone taking the same route.
