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.
