Facebook Developer Toolkit Explained at CNUG
I just finished presenting to the Chicago .NET User Group on Facebook Development using the Microsoft stack. I focused primarily on the Facebook Developer Toolkit for obvious reasons (it is just what I know). The session covered an overview of the Facebook API and the Facebook Platform. We then talked in depth about using the Facebook Developer Toolkit to leverage the Facebook API and to write Canvas pages hosted within the Facebook Platform. Thanks to my colleague Jonathan Schuster who did the code demos and saved me a bunch of prep time. I was also able to demo leveraging Silverlight 1.1 on a Facebook IFrame Canvas page.
This is part of the deck where I described an overview of the Facebook Platform.
If you are new to the Facebook Platform, I'd recommend the recording we made of the session (linked at the end of this post) or check out the interview we did on Thirsty Developer
The turn out was good. I think we had 40+ people and most were new to Facebook development. It was fun to introduce this platform to a new group of .net developers. If you are interested in the presentation, the slides, demos and a video of the presentation can be accessed at clarityTV.
