Yesterday I attended the Franken Web Montag meetup in Nürnberg. This time the nice folks at insertEFFECT hosted us and opened up their terrasse.
Florian Bailey opened with a talk about Facebook applications. It was quite interesting. To me these applications are just annoying, but I can see now how they are used, and how success can mean making money within Facebook. They made also a test application called ‘Who is the Kitchen Master?’ (needs account).
I did also try to talk about something, but I didn’t prepare anything. I don’t like to do unprepared presentations. It was a bit about scale up vs. scale out. Lucky sometimes the audience did sidetrack me and we could make some discussions.
Funny details: they used a MySQL book to put the beamer a bit higher!
The rest of the evening was filled with lots of good discussions, meeting new people and drinking lots of bee.. water.
Thanks again for the great evening, to all that attended, and especially the folks at insertEFFECT. Oh, and the pizza did indeed good!
Looking forward to the next Web Montag in Franken!
