This weekend I attended the Facebook Developer Garage in Santa Monica. Meagan Marks from the Facebook Platform team spent several hours with the group and made it clear that they are very developer friendly. The next several hours were filled with Barcamp style presentations and ad hoc discussions. By the time the beer and pizza came in the evening the audience was mostly developers coding, sharing information and giving each other feedback on their apps.

The best part was meeting people who have used the past 60 days to develop not one but sometimes several successful applications. And the serious people are making money.

Special thanks to Kareem, Eric and the rest of the organizers. And hat’s off to Meagan from Facebook for sharing her Ninja secrets and being an enthusiastic supporter of the developer community.
