December 13th at Makerere University, Facebook comes to Kampala! In
addition to learning how to make Facebook applications from scratch,
attendees will also learn how to use the platform as a profitable
marketing tool. There will be breakout sessions for people not
interested in coding and hands-on workshops for people who are, so
everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. Special thanks to Michael
Niyitegeka of Makerere University and the Facebook Staff for making this
possible by sponsoring...
Attending a Facebook Developer Garage is an opportunity for a deep
dive into Facebook Platform: it is a forum to share ideas with local
developers, look for partners on your latest project, see and
participate in Facebook App demonstrations, seek technical support,
or just network and socialize with other developers interested in
the Facebook Platform. or viral growth, tricks for testing your app,
metrics for success, ninja code tricks...the usual. Pretty much
anything goes.
In general, Garages will welcome ad hoc presentations, brainstorming
sessions with other developers, and social interaction time. Some
Garages will also offer some Q&A time with Facebook Platform
Engineers, either via video conference or in person. Most will also
provide food, power, and wireless connectivity. Check your area's
Facebook Developer Garage for specific details about what to bring
or what to expect.
Due to a scheduling conflict, we had to reschedule the event from
October 18th to December 13th, 2008. It was for the best though,
the new date will be even bigger and better as a few select member
of Facebook's staff will be on the ground to help organize the
clinic! Stay tuned for details about when and where. To
participate join the facebook group and the facebook event! Please
