Interested in seeing what it takes to build social features into a mobile application? Facebook recently published an extensive open source codebase to make Facebook integration for iOS as simple to build and robust as possible. This is a hands-on discussion (yes, there will be code!) that will leave you with a sense of the opportunity around social and mobile, as viewed through the lens of building Facebook applications for iPhone and iPad devices. Jason Clark (speaker) is one of the engineers responsible for Facebook’s mobile developer platform; watch him build a social iOS application from scratch – syntax errors and all. Then go add social features to all your apps! Dinner and Facebook giveaways will be provided to attendees.
