Category: Conference
Im very pleased to be co-speaking with Wayne Graham at EdUI 2009 at the University of Virginia this September 22nd. EdUI 2009 posted the full conference schedule today, which included the talk Wayne and I will give. Heres the description for our talk:
The Facebook API:Â Thinking about UI in a social way
Building an application for the Facebook API is very different than your standard application. The basic concepts and flow of your application need to conform to underlying principles of social media in order for people to use your application and share it with their friends. We will discuss the development and implementation of Facebook applications based on our own experiences and drawing on the best practices of other projects. Wayne will discuss his implementation of the Facebook-Athenaeum project, and Arin will discuss his experiences building an application for fundraising on Facebook. The presentation will be a mixture of high level design concepts, details on the Facebook API, and code examples.Â
Well be speaking on Day 2, September 22, from 2:15 – 3:00 pm. Im really looking forward to hearing all the great speakers at this conference, and Im honored to have a chance to present with Wayne at EdUI!
