The Facebook API: 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.
