I gave a presentation on Facbook to the Ruby Users Group here in Munich yesterday.  I’m posting it here in the hopes it’ll be interesting and useful to the community in general.  (This was my second presentation to a Ruby group this year — I gave one on metapgrogramming in July in San Francisco — and I think I’m starting to like presenting.)

In the presentation, I cover the basics of developing web applications with Facebook — what Facebook integration can mean, how the Facebook APIs work, what they can do, and how to use them.  This being a Ruby group and me being the author of the Koala gem for Facebook, I provided some examples of querying the Social Graph using a few lines of Ruby code; I also covered Facebook’s Javascript SDK briefly, since that’s critical to significant Facebook application.

Oh, and I gave the talk in German (don’t worry, the slides are in English).  That was a good challenge.

Enjoy!
