I’m working on preparing more material and code covering the Social Web and Facebook for the upcoming Intermediate Ruby on Rails Workshop that we’re putting on January 25th at BCIT.

Here’s the outline what I will cover:

• What is the Social Web? What’s Facebook?
• Why does Facebook matter? Facebook Statistics and Numbers
• Facebook and Ruby on Rails
• What’s RFacebook? What’s Facebooker?
• Creating a Facebook application using inline frames (@iframe@s)
• Creating a Facebook application using FBML (Facebook Markup Language)

Interested? Learn more and sign-up today for the world’s 1st Ruby on Rails workshop covering the Social Web including Facebook.
