I want to know the number of messages I have with anyone on Facebook.

Is there some way to know the count of messages that have been exchanged between me and someone else?

Yes, there is an easy way to do it: go to your messages in Facebook and then click on the conversation you want the count from. Scroll very fast up in the conversation, now there stands "loading xxxx messages".

The programmers's way is the only way to do it. This cannot be done from within Facebook.

Facebook itself has no such option. Facebook does has an API, but it does not allows the apps to go up to the level of interacting with the messages of its users.
