Overview
The Live SDK contains the Live Connect APIs, which provide programmatic access to Live web services with a set of libraries that enables your apps to work with data in over 500 million user accounts in Microsoft Account, SkyDrive, Hotmail, and Messenger. The Live SDK enables access to users’ identity profile info and allows your apps to:
- Easily personalize your users’ experience
- Take advantage of single sign-on scenarios using Microsoft Account in Windows 8 Release Preview
- Upload and download photos and documents in SkyDrive
- Create and update contacts, calendars, and events in Hotmail
Supported operating systems: Windows 8, Windows Phone 7.1
This SDK is a few DLL's and pointers to web resources.
I guess pointing at web resources is good in that you should always be getting fresh stuff, and it makes the download and install very fast and easy. And I guess it makes it very cloud/web like (which makes sense considering what this SDK is for). It still took me a little by surprise though, but I'll get over it. And as I think about it, it does make the SDK "alive" doesn't it? Instead of old and dead on your HD? hum...
One place where the payoff for it being "live" the samples. Instead of stale code samples clogging your HD, you instead have the freshest available.
