I just got back from the Facebook Developer Garage here in Johannesburg. The event was organised by Armand and Arno. The turn out was greater than I expected and I really enjoyed the presentations. I met quite a few new people tonight, I will link to those who’s blogs I know of below.
I gave a short case study of MXit Me, our first public Facebook application. The presentation is below, I hope you enjoy it.

Overall, I think tonight was a real success. I highly recommend that everyone attend the next one. You will gain invaluable insight into Facebook and social networking as a whole. I would like to thank everyone who came through and being a part of yet another community.
For those of you who are looking at creating a Facebook application that may be the “next big thing” then I really suggest you take a look at the competition that Mentez is currently running in South Africa.
It was great to finally meet those who I have met online and seen in the online space. Craig, Charl, Steven and the rest of the awesome people who joined us tonight, see you at the next one.
You rocked it bud, enjoyed your presentation… “you winged it”
Charl: Thanks dude, haha, It’s what happens when you put something together a few hours before its due.
Ah, adrenalin rush, nothing beats it!
I’m developing some apps at the moment, would have loved to see what others regard as “best practice” for Facebook apps.
Any idea as to when the next one will be held? How about doing it on a Saturday?
