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.
