Already today Facebook integrates nicely mobile apps. From its mobile website and the Facebook app (Android and iOS) you can launch connected apps. Facebook is about to become the new marketplace for apps offering a completely new app discovery experience – an important advantage in a crowded marketplace.

Facebook will allow for a new class of apps: apps that integrate Facebook’s social experience from the web and go beyond that by adding popular feature from the mobile like places, mobile payments. More social apps offer more ways to keep users returning to your app. Will Facebook foster a new generation of apps and games?

2012 – The Year of HTML5 ?!

Mozilla is pushing a complete standalone OS based on a Linux kernel and an HTML5 surface (Boot To Gecko – B2G – check out the Samsung Galaxy S II prototype); plus Mozilla announced its HTML5 app store for later this year. On top of that Facebook is driving the HTML5 API development. It sure looks like this will be an important year for HTML5, for you and the rest of the mobile ecosystem

Conceiving Facebook Mobile Apps

In the upcoming event you’ll learn how to design a mobile game or app integrating Facebook elements. You’ll get to know all you need to get your mobile game or app (HTML5, hybrid or native) into Facebook. Facebook will give you the latest updates on the Open Graph for Mobile APIs. We’ll dig into HTML5 for mobile. Gofresh will share its amazing practical experience on game design,development and marketing.

Should you come?

This event is for 100 to 150 participants, product owners, concept developers, developers, app and game designers as well as marketeers that want to dig a bit deeper. It’s FREE.
