On April 26th, Meezik is bringing the Facebook Developer Garage to Northeast Pennsylvania, hosted at Pepperjam’s headquarters in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Facebook describes the Developer Garage as,

A forum to share ideas with local developers, look for partners on your latest project, see and participate in Facebook App demonstrations, seek technical support, or just network and socialize with other developers interested in the Facebook Platform. Or viral growth, tricks for testing your app, metrics for success, ninja code tricks…the usual.

So far, the list of confirmed speakers are:

• Kristopher Jones, CEO, Pepperjam
• Jay Signorello, Software engineer, Heavy.com
• Ray Steigerwalt, Software developer, Meezik
• Jim Walker, Software developer, Meezik
• Daehee Park, Marketing & sales coordinator, Meezik

The following topics will be discussed:

• Facebook’s f8 vs Google’s OpenSocial developer platforms
• Development
• Scaling
• Monetizing with ad networks and affiliate offers
• Viral marketing techniques

We encourage not only developers but also entrepreneurs and marketers to come out to check out this exciting new platform to monetize. Also, information technology, computer science, and business majors at the regional colleges should attend to learn more about how to create Facebook applications. You don’t need a programming background to attend, because we are going to talk about Facebook applications from the ground-up.

The admission is free. Remember, the location is at the Pepperplex located at:

The Innovation Center
7 South Main Street, Floor 3
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 18701
