There has been a lot of talk about the
Twitter and Facebook integration with Xbox and Microsoft continues to prove they recognize social networking as part of the mainstream (and more than likely a source of revenue as well). Microsoft has just released a new SDK (Software Developer’s Kit) for Facebook, which was built to enable the millions of developers to create next generation Facebook applications. Our friends at the
Silverlight blog said:
“This latest release of the Facebook SDK (Toolkit) combines the latest in Web and Client platform innovations with leading Social technologies (services) together to enable millions of developers and designers to transform their imagination into the next generation application experiences.”
The Microsoft SDK supports Silverlight, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, and Windows Forms meaning easy access to the Facebook Open Stream API. The toolkit provides a variety of samples, controls and templates to help you get started. There are more than 1 million facebook developers and another 6 million Microsoft software developers so we’re really looking forward to some of the apps that come from this.
