So the next few months, or 6 weeks really should be very busy down here in South Florida. There are a number of upcoming events in the area that might be of interest to you all.

First up this week there is a Ruby on Rails meetup monday night at 7PM in the Datran Center in East Kendall.

Then on wednesday the 23rd, NextMiami is returning to Gordon Biersch on Brickell at 7.

Every saturday there is the Miami web development group meetup at 2PM downtown at the data center.

On the 30th I’ll be hosting RefreshMiami’s January meetup at 7:30PM at Books and Books in Coral Gables. Chris Saylor from TodoBebe will be discussing localization of your website/web app.

In February we’re proud to be hosting the 2nd BarcampMiami at the Carnival Center for performing arts in downtown Miami on February 28th. Make sure you RSVP and secure your spot, as the first 100 people will get t-shirts and 50% off admission to Future of Web Apps Miami.

February also marks the first time Future of Web Apps will be hosting their conference and parties here in lovely South Florida. Check out the event page on Facebook if you’re interested in seeing who is going to be there.

So I’ve uploaded the 2 videos from refreshmiami august meetup. In the first one I talk about marketing on social networks/the social graph. The second part I discuss the facebook platform, which if you know me is my current obsession at the moment.

So here we go.

So for those of you in Miami this coming wednesday, you might want to check out the August Refresh meeting. I’ll be one of the two featured speakers (the other being my good friend Alex de Carvalho ).

I will be talking about facebook primarily, but also the social graph (network to you noobs), and how it all ties into your business. So if you are interested in understanding the way the new facebook and other social platforms are going to be changing the way business on the net works, then definitely come by. The event is open to anyone, and I am guaranteeing* it will be interesting :-).
