The Live Framework is the uniform way for programming Live Services from a variety of platforms, programming languages, applications and devices. It is part of the Azures Services Platform.

Build applications that consume and combine Live Services data that span across digital devices and the web.

What does this all enable for developers?

  • Cloud/Client/Device reach: An easy way to build applications which span cloud/web and devices
  • Access to user-data: Simple to integrate user data, social graph, etc.
  • Application ecosystem: A way to build apps which can be seamlessly discovered, deployed, and managed across a user’s Mesh and shared with others
  • Easy to get started: You can use existing skills, no need to re-write, available from variety of platforms, devices, programming language

To get started writing applications that incorporate Windows Live information or use Live Mesh, use the latest Community Technology Preview from the Live Framework site. You'll need to get a developer account provisioned on Live too. Instructions are on the Live Framework site.
