4. What are Live Services ? Live Services are user-centric services that provide open, programmatic access to Windows Live. These user-centric services include: Identity Services User-data Storage Services Mesh Services (devices & sync) Communications & Presence Services Application Management Services Geospatial Services Search Services These services provide the foundation for rich, structured user-centric data that is also exposed through open services. Some examples of the data that is managed by Live Services include Profile, Contacts, Calendar, Photos, Blogs, and Mapping data.

8. Live Mesh Integrated with the Live Services component of the Azure Services Platform – it makes Core functionality of Live Services available to end users Synchronize users’ data and extending web applications across multiple devices. Live Framework – uniform way for utilizing the mesh platform technologies for developers.

11. Live Framework Live Framework allows you to integrate the power of the cloud in a cohesive and consistent way in your applications Live Framework enables you to move to the next inflection point in the software industry.NET developers can use the Live Framework Client Libraries to build their application – mesh enabled apps.

12. Mesh-Enabled Web Applications Sync… Websites Devices & Social Mesh

13. Application Types/Terminology Live Framework supports two major application types Mesh-Enabled Web Applications  Hosted and deployed in user’s Mesh  Takes full advantage of Live Services  Most support for Application Life Cycle Any other Mesh-Enabled Applications that use Live Services  Covers all the other application types that don’t fit in the previous category  Use a subset of Live Services including client/cloud endpoints

14. Key Tenants of “Mesh-Enabled Web Applications”  Extends Websites to Desktop, Desktop to Website  Client-side Web Apps Hosted on Live Mesh Services  Same App on Website, Live Desktop and Devices  DHTML, JavaScript/Ajax, Silverlight, etc  Simple Feed-based Programming APIs  Auto Deployment and Update  Socially Aware and Easily Shareable  Accessed by Originating Website with User Consent  Runs in a Sandbox Application Mesh Object Data Feed(s) Application Data Settings User data Associated Mesh Objects Access to user data Application Mesh Object Data Feed(s) Application Data Settings User data Associated Mesh Objects Access to user data Mesh-Enabled Web Application

17. Develop your 1 st mesh enabled application and deploy on Live services.

18. Developers: Build and Publish Get a App ID & Secret key using Azure Developer Portal Download Mesh App AJAX/Silverlight library and Visual Studio Tools (Optional) Upload Application to Azure Developer Portal Market and publicize your app on your web site (or anywhere else)

19. Develop your 1 st mesh enabled application and deploy on Live services.

20. Lets summerize as Developers (Lives Services / Live Framework) End Users (Live Mesh experience) Build Rich social apps using user centric data and services Makes core functionality of live services available to users Build applications across devices & the web Sync against devices(PCS, mobile), web. Share applications and data between users & devices Live Framework is simple interoperable framework to access & consume live services Mesh technology can be leveraged by Live framework to build mesh enabled applications for end users

21. Key Take away Live Services value-add for all types of Apps & their lifecycle Mesh-Enabled Web Apps extend Websites to Desktop Live Framework provides APIs, Resource Model and Tools to Build, Deploy, Run and Update Mesh-Enabled Web Applications
