Tonight’s the night: Facebook Developer Garage (a.k.a. FacebookCamp) happens tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Mars Discovery District (101 College Street, Toronto). This will be the first of a series of Facebook Garages/Camps; there’s already talk of holding another one for the fall. If you’re interested in developing applications to run on the Facebook platform, this is a must-catch event, as not only are about 300 local developers planning to attend — the event has garnered so much attention that Facebook is flying reps up to speak. As you can imagine, seating will be limited, so if you can come early, do so.
I’ll be taking my usual copious notes and will post them here, so watch this space!

btw: With all of the exposure and buzz that this event has gotten, we now have more attendees than the fire code allows for at this venue.
MaRS can only handle about 420 people.
Thus, depending on how many people we get, we may need to turn some away.
