It is a service where you can host your open source projects and code, as well as find and collaborate with developers of like mind. The presenter just demostrat a few steps to clone & creatre a facebook application & it is real interesting. As you don't need to understand PHP or some other coding language — such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or Python — especially one that has a client library for our API.
