I will be heading to Liverpool tomorrow with some other BarCamp veterans to attend the first BarCampLiverpool. They invited a few people with some experience at BarCamps to bring the spirit over to the North, so Mel and I were happy to go.

But what to talk about? I am currently fully with my head into Facebook development for my work at Nudge London. This might be very interesting although I probably have to think out how to limit myself to just 30 minutes. Alternatively (and unlike most London BarCamps) I can probably talk about some of the topics that I talked about before because they haven’t heard it in Liverpool yet.

So here are my ideas:

  • A quick introduction to Facebook App Development, highlighting FBML, XFBML, the FQL API, and more. 
  • A “Bring Your Own Gadgets Session” where we all bring our gadgets and let each other explore potential christmas presents.
  • An introduction to symfony development, comparing it to other platforms like Rails, Django, CodeIgniter, Kohana, etc
  • A variation of the talk of above: a showcase of different web development platforms
  • Digital Photography crash course (although I think Caz might go for that one)
  • Dutch for beginners
  • ….. anything else, by request
Let me know if you think something really interests you.
