Understanding Windows Live Framework & Mesh

presented by John Blumenauer

Developers can now utilize the Microsoft Live Framework to implement applications that are occasionally-connected.

While the focus will be on the Live Framework SDK and resource model and how to access it, the three main types of applications which it supports will also be discussed and demonstrated.
