Facebook programming courses launched

Facebook programing is emerging as a new academic field with the University of Singapore joining the list of establishments offering courses aimed at teaching students how to create Facebook applications
“This new module is not your traditional software engineering course. Enrollment will be open to students of all faculties and students will work in small inter-disciplinary teams to create their killer Facebook applications. Programming experience for non-SoC students is not a pre-requisite (since work will be done in teams).
This 4-MC module is suitable for students with a strong programming background and high confidence in picking up new programming languages on-the-fly, and students who do not have extensive programming experience but who have a strong design background or entrepreneurial aspirations.”
This is notable not only for the content of the semester long module but for impressive amount of information on the accompanying Facebook group.
