Earlier today I had the pleasure of co-delivering a presentation with Binky Lush at the 2008 Penn State web conference.  Our talk, which centered around the Facebook application we built for the University Libraries, touched on a whole host of themes, including:
  • the motivations behind our efforts
  • the application's usage and efforts made to promote it
  • how the app works and a basic overview of the Facebook application development process
  • lessons learned and future directions
  • and some words of advice for anyone considering building an app of their own.

The slides on their own most certainly don't tell the whole story, but if you'd like a refresher from today or are just looking for a basic overview, the presentation is available for download here.   Enjoy!
