Vancouver Facebook Developer Garage - Part II

So on Monday night(the 27th) I attended the 2nd Vancouver Facebook Developer Garage and I was actually very impressed. Nobody presented any lame apps like the Zombies or What Color Are You? that are completely useless. All of the 11 applications presented had some sort of useful purpose to them and were developed very well. The presentations given were as follows:

 

  • Eat-A-Rama by ActiveState (Plus Mini-Lightning Talk)
  • Mixx Maker (V2.0) by Project Opus / Donat Group
  • (The World’s Biggest) Hockey Pool + Friend of the Month by Ben Nevile (Mainsocial)
  • The Snow Report by Jeremy Holland and Dean Halford (MOK Agency)
  • These Are My Kids by Kinzin / Uniserve
  • 10 Friends Notes by Colin Kierans
  • My Food Fix by Matthew Chiu
  • I’m Reading by Garth Shoemaker
  • Vibrator by Chris Richardson (EQO)
  • $uper Rewards by Jason Bailey (Plus Mini-Lightning Talk)
  • Mini-Lightning Talk on Hosting Options and Tips and Tricks on Handling Millions of Facebookers by Mark Mayo (Joyent).
  • My favourite presentation was that of “These Are My Kids”. It seemed as though it was very well developed and that they had put a lot of thought into the entire idea. I suggest you check it out and if you’re a parent, add it once it’s released, because it looks to be very useful. As for an application I would add myself I’d probably choose the”Mixx Maker”, which is an application which allows you to make your own mixes or playlists and allows your friends to add to them as well. I’d also probably use “I’m Reading” and “Eat-A-Rama” just because they’re cool and I definitely probably use them on a regular basis. All in all it was a great night. Lot’s of good developing going on and all for a good cause - we’d like to think anyway. If I remember more that I’d like to bring up later then I’ll blog about it again. But that’s all for now. Have a sweet day/evening. Drive safe in all that snow here in the lower mainland!

    Rebekah Out.
