Facebook Developer Garage details

[Tony Bacigalupo]

Hi everybody! Since we've run Facebook dev events in the past, I wanted to pass along the additional details on tomorrow's Facebook Developer Garage. Check it out!

Greetings from the NYC facebook Developer Garage

We would like to invite you to participate in a social media experiment.

The NYC facebook Developer Garage now has 301 RSVP's for this Monday's October 27th garage and we doubt it will get many more from outside facebook. We would like you to use the social graph to get the word out to your facebook friends that might be interested in this event.

The event venue holds 600 so we have lots of room for everyone. Most NYC facebook developers will be at this garage in addition to a cross section of the NYC technology industry. We only have a few big garages like this each year and they are an incredible networking opportunity for the industry. The event is free and at an incredible venue - the Sunset Terrace on the Chelsea Pier overlooking the Hudson.

The agenda includes a presentation of facebook connect, a new program Zembly.com from Sun that claims to be the easiest and quickest way to create facebook applications, app demos by NYC's leading facebook developers and a profile of facebook app company Buddy Media.

Also we will be announcing several offers from our sponsors that could make and certainly will save you money:

From Sun Startup Essential: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.sun.com%2Fstartup
- a new VC Connect offer, which gives you the opportunity to connect with interested investors, including Sun's Corporate Development organization
- an offer from Sun partner Joyent to provide free hosting for 12 months for Facebook development.
Representatives from Sun Startup Essentials will be at the meeting to help you get started applying for the VC program and sign up for the free server hosting service.

From iPhone BootCamp NYC: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://iphonebootcampnyc.eventbrite.com%2F
- a 50% discount for all garage attendees for either of three courses in basic, advanced iPhone development and a web-to-mobile class for developers who want to learn how to port facebook application over to iPhone and Android. The iPhone BootCamp NYC offer is a limited first sign-up offer for those who put in the discount code to be announced at the garage.
