Today at Web 2.0 Expo, Ori Amiga presented the first public view of the Live Mesh developer experience.

Writing code in Iron Python as well as C#, Ori demonstrated, as in his Channel9 video, how easy it is to write apps against the Mesh Operating Environment (MOE).

Live Mesh rocks! - Technical Preview Opens Tomorrow

Michael Lehman — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:08:00 GMT

Last night @ 9PM Microsoft announced the existence of and first technical preview of Live Mesh!

Both Scoble (Ray Ozzie Delivers with Live Mesh) and Mary Jo Foley (Ten Things to know about Microsoft's Live Mesh) are excited and, in my opinion, justifyably so.

The first preview of the combination platform/service opens tomorrow and the developer story/kits will come later which will enable a whole raft of interesting application scenarios.

There a a bunch of videos on Channel9 as well as an interesting walkthrough of the technology from a developer's point of view narrated by Jeremy Mazner you can watch now.

The official announcement also included this list of links:

Web 2.0 - Scoble, Community and Sunshine

Michael Lehman — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:08:00 GMT

For me, Day 1 of Web 2.0 is in the books. Last night and this morning included some quality time hanging out with Robert Scoble talking about the state of startups, mobile apps, and his thoughts on Microsoft's upcoming offerings (more after 9PM Pacific time tonight, especially on Channel9).

In addition, I caught some presentations about search engines and social media, mobile web app design, Web 2.0 "best practices". Interesting, thought provoking stuff that I don't get much exposure to in my current role driving Software+Services Blueprints.
