Live Services Explained

Adam Kinney — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:02:00 GMT

What's the difference between Live Services, Live Framework and Live Mesh? James Senior has arrived to explain how you can use Live Services in your applications today and how you can plan future development with the Live Framework. For detailed developer information on APIs and documentation head over to dev.live.com.

Live Framework SDK, News & Sync Items (Part 2 of 2)

Mike Taulty — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:23:00 GMT

Here we follow up on the first Part of these two screencasts by taking the same application code and extending it to look at the SyncItems feed and how we can use that to monitor conflicts in data as it is synchronised.

If you're new to the Live Framework SDK preview, start here.

Live Framework SDK, News & Sync Items (Part 1 of 2)

Mike Taulty — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 00:18:00 GMT

NewsItems are a way for your application to build a user-centric log of what data changes have been made to DataEntries and DataFeeds. With an application that stores data into a Mesh, it's often tricky for a user to know why a particular set of data has been updated or deleted and NewsItems help the user fathom out what's gone on in the application. We'll follow up by looking at SyncItems in a separate screencast.

Live Framework SDK, Sharing .NET Objects

Mike Taulty — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:48:00 GMT

Follows straight on from the "Sharing Photos" screencast by adapting that application to share custom .NET object data in the Mesh.

Live Framework SDK, Sharing Photo Files

Mike Taulty — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:44:00 GMT

Here, we follow up on previous Live Framework screencasts by showing how we can add file based data to a data feed in our Mesh and get the Mesh to do the work of synchronising those files across devices and/or users.

To illustrate it, we build a simple application in WPF that allows us to drag-and-drop photo files onto the UI and then adds them to a data feed in the Mesh.

Live Framework and Always-Available Social Applications

Jared Bienz — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:35:00 GMT

The Live Framework is a set of libraries and services for building connected applications that can reach millions of users. Live Mesh is a set of services for synchronizing user and application data between multiple devices and multiple people.

This screencast provides an introduction to these frameworks and demonstrates how they can be used to develop Always-Available social applications.

This file is for the Live Framework and Always Available Social Applications screencast.

Live Framework SDK, Sharing Data

Mike Taulty — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:42:00 GMT

Following up on a previous screencast where we created a MeshObject, here we show how to invite another user to access a MeshObject that we have created in order that data can be synchronised not only across the machines belonging to one user but also out to other invited members of the Mesh.

Live Framework, MEWA Hello World

Mike Taulty — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:37:00 GMT

A "Hello World" example of building a Mesh-Enabled-Web-Application (MEWA) using Silverlight with the Live Mesh and the Live Framework SDK. We'll build, deploy and debug a simple application that lists the devices in the Live Mesh.

Live Framework SDK, Syncing Some Simple Data

Mike Taulty — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:41:00 GMT

Moving on from the introductory video to getting a very simple console application written that synchronises some textual entries through the Live Mesh. We look at writing some basic code to create a MeshObject and then to add and display DataFeed entries to that MeshObject.

Live Framework SDK, Getting Started

Mike Taulty — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:55:00 GMT

A quick walkthrough of getting started with the Live Framework SDK. From downloading the SDK and tools through to firing up Visual Studio, referencing the SDK assemblies and getting a "Hello World" style application written that queries some contact information from the Live Framework.

Dharma Shukla: Inside Live Framework

Charles — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:47:00 GMT

Dharma Shukla, Architect for the Live Framework, knows how to make developers happy. After delivering the programming model for the Workflow Foundation, he joined the Live Services team to develop a unified, simple and open way for developers to program against the full set of Live Services – from any device, any platform, client or cloud. We sat down with Dharma to understand the hard problems he set out to solve, and the approach he took building the Live Operating Environment and Live Framework

Live Services: What I Learned Building My First Mesh Application

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:33:06 GMT

What's it like building an application that uses feeds and synchronization? The Live Services resource and synchronization model offers a lot of flexibility to developers and a different approach to development from typical database or SQL replication. I built one of the first Mesh applications at Microsoft, and I'll share the top five things I learned.

Live Services: Programming Live Services Using Non-Microsoft Technologies

Duncan Mackenzie — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:33:00 GMT

Live Services building blocks expose a platform-independent, language neutral, protocol-based programming model. The framework is designed from the get-go to not be bound to any platform-specific technology (Microsoft's or otherwise) or implementation. Dive into how to exercise this programming model and build applications on top of the Live Services using technologies such as PHP and others.
