is adding to the set of software programming interfaces (APIs) underlying its evolving Dwell developer platform, firm officials claimed at Microsoft's Mix '07 conference in Las Vegas. to testers "a bevy of new APIs, controls,
Office 2010 Professional Plus Key, etc.," according to a blog posting on the Windows Dev blog. the line-up: A Stay Contacts API, a Reside Spaces Photo Control and Windows Dwell Data Protocols. access to Windows Stay Contacts has been exclusively through our Contacts Control, but now we also offer an API for Contacts as well,
Office 2010 Professional X86," explained the Reside Dev team on its blog. "The Windows Dwell Contacts API is a RESTful API that works on Address Book objects. The Contacts API offers a more granular control over the user experience than the control, and allows users to grant and revoke permission to their data on a site-by-site basis. Windows Dwell Data provides the protocols to manage the permissioning process." January, Microsoft officials acknowledged that the company was honing its Reside platform developer vision. The Live team mentioned it was working to create and open up two categories of Stay software programming interfaces (APIs). One of these categories is infrastructure APIs,
Office Standard 2010 X86, specifically, identity, relationship, storage, communications, payment/points, advertising and domain APIs. The other is software services APIs, including instant-messaging/VOIP, search, Spaces (blogging), mapping,
Microsoft Office 2010 Key, mail/calendar and classifieds APIs. Underlying all of these APIs is adCenter, Microsoft's online-advertising platform. at the Mix '07 conference this week, Microsoft is doing a lot of show and tell sessions to encourage developers and designers to build their own Reside services atop the Microsoft Live APIs. Microsoft also is exposing developers attending this week's conference to Microsoft's "Reside in a Box" set of APIs, code samples and tutorials designed to help them learn to use the Reside SDKs. Microsoft also announced simpler and more standardized pricing and licensing terms for its Windows Reside APIs. On the Reside Dev blog, Microsoft outlined the new terms: enabling access to a broad set of Windows Live Platform services with a single,
Office 2010 Home And Business Key, easy-to-understand pricing model based on the number of unique users (UUs) accessing your site or Web application. These terms are intended to remove costs associated with many Web applications and provide predictable costs for larger Web applications. some exceptions for the UU-based model: (1) Search: free up to 750,000 search queries/month, (2) Virtual Earth: free up to 3 million map tiles/month; and (3) Silverlight Streaming: free up to 4GB storage and unlimited outbound streaming, and no limit on the number of users that can view those streams. Beyond these limits websites and users will be required to conclude commercial arrangements for these services with Microsoft." officials promised at last year's Mix that they'd simplify and codify the Live licensing terms and conditions. A year later, they made good on their word.
