Facebook wrapped up their annual F8 Developer Conference last week and a big ticket item for them, just like it was for Microsoft at Build 2016, was bots.

Facebook F8 Wrap-Up

Last week Facebook held their annual F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco for over 2,600 attendees. Just like the developer event held by Microsoft a couple of weeks earlier bots received a lot of discussion at F8 along with several other areas, including Virtual Reality with Oculus, that Facebook is working on for their developer community.

If you were unable to attend in person, a lot of the sessions and talks were streamed live but now Facebook has made nearly 100 videos from the event available for on-demand viewing so that you can catch up with all the news that came out of the event.

Here is a summary of some of the key videos and articles about the content from F8.

If you prefer to consume and learn by reading about the news from F8 then there is also a lot of published content available to you on the F8 Developer website.

You can visit the Facebook Developers portal to find other information, tools, support and other developer related news from this year's F8 and how you can use Facebook technologies to improve your own apps and services that are tied into the social giant.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
