Facebook meets .NET
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Facebook is a popular social network site and a destination for application developers, but developers need to learn its peculiarities, according to a VSLive conference presentation in San Francisco on Tuesday.
Development on Facebook is more like embedded development rather than normal Web development, said speaker Jeffrey McManus, CEO of Platform Associates, a consulting firm.
"It's kind of like all the bad parts of Web development and all the bad parts of embedded systems development sort of thrown together in a community of 60 million salivating college students," said McManus. He presented on developing for Facebook using Microsoft .Net technologies.
