The PDC09 Keynoted Silverlight Facebook Client is now available (as a developer preview sample and without source)

Method ~ of ~ failed (Tim Heuer) - Silverlight Client for Facebook available

“Remember the final moments of the Scott Guthrie keynote presentation at PDC09?  Where Brian Goldfarb came on stage and demonstrated a completed application using a lot of the features of Silverlight 4?  Yeah, that Facebook application.  Well, it’s here now!

…

The Microsoft Silverlight 4 Beta Client for Facebook has been released as a developer preview sample.  In order to use it you must have Silverlight 4 developer builds installed.

…

What about source code?

At this time no source code is being provided…and probably won’t be.  I’m not the decision maker on ultimately if it will or not, just my assumption.  The Facebook client is meant to be a working demonstration/inspiration of what one could do with existing services and providing different views into an existing application framework.

How can I install this and will it work on my Mac?

You can play around with the app by visiting the Microsoft Silverlight 4 Beta Client for Facebook app on the Silverlight samples site (which also includes the other sample applications from PDC09).  As a reminder, this is a developer preview build and intended for developers. …

Yes, it will work on your Mac (as long as you have an Intel processor version). …

Silverlight Client for Facebook

No source? What the? Na… that’s something that has to change. I mean a developer preview without source? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

While I’ll give this a try on a non-production system, I’m likely to just stick with Fishbowl (which does have the source available ;)
