Facebook to host first F8 Developer Conference in three years on April 30

Facebook last hosted F8 Developer Conference in 2011 when the company unveiled the Timeline and Open Graph platform. The company aims to return to its roots with the upcoming conference that will be held in San Francisco on April 30. Tech Crunch predicts F8 will focus on how mobile developers can use Facebook to gain more traction with free and paid promotion in order to earn money.

According to a Facebook blog post, “This year, we’re going back to our roots and having a pure developer conference. F8 will open with a morning keynote, followed by four tracks that will cover getting started guides, technical best practices, infrastructure strategies, engineering deep dives, and advertising tips  for making your app or game highly successful. We’ll also have sessions  dedicated to exploring how developers can take advantage of open source technologies.”

Once you setup your phone, you're good to go.
