Hey, what’s a couple of years between posts right?<\/p>\n

I recently had the opportunity to demo our Contoso Riders Quick App at EnergizeIT<\/a> in Toronto. A big thanks to Jean-Luc David and Chris Dufour<\/a> for being such great hosts and for making our Services track a great success!<\/p>\n

So you might be asking yourself; “What’s a Quick App?”<\/p>\n

Quick Apps are projects that showcase the Microsoft Live Platform<\/a> service offerings and also serve as templates which developers can use as a springboard to base their own projects off of. They are open-source projects release under Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the case of Contoso Riders, we implemented services and APIs such as:<\/p>\n

Live ID for user authentication<\/li>\n

Live Messenger Presence API and IM Control for Instant Messenging<\/li>\n

Virtual Earth Map Control to display and Virtual Earth Collections for storing map and routing information<\/li>\n

Silverlight Streaming for hosting videos<\/li>\n

Live Spaces Weblogs and the Metaweblog API to store and manage content<\/li>\n

Live Spaces Photo Albums to store photos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can download the source for Contoso Riders on CodePlex as part of the Windows Live Quick Apps<\/a> project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
