Since Amit Mital introduced Live Mesh last week, there have been a slew of posts & videos published about the Live Mesh platform. We thought we'd provide a round up from the various sources here.

The Live Mesh Community Tech Preview that was released last week offers a glimpse of what is possible for consumers, but the platform will offer exciting possibilities to developers in the near future as well.

Live Mesh is a “software-plus-services” platform that enables individuals and organizations to manage, access, and share files, data and applications from anywhere. Mike Zintel provides some details about the goals for the platform, which you can read about here.

Programming the Mesh

Jeremy Mazner explains in this blog post how the Live Mesh platform has been designed to be “comprehensive, simple, open.” Demonstrating these principles is Ori Amiga's new video, “Programming the Mesh.” The video includes several demos of feeds, ATOM, JSON, and FeedSync, as well as some nifty applications (such as a custom Facebook app that syncs Facebook photos with Live Mesh, and one with Mac support ).

The Live Mesh team released a Platform Quick Tour for Developers walkthrough, while Channel 10 has the Overview of Live Mesh Platform Experience.

Synchronizing with FeedSync

Among the key design goals is the ability to share data among devices and applications, while retaining ownership of the data for the customer. FeedSync will make this possible by providing an authenticated, bidirectional sync of data. Steven Lees, designer of the FeedSync protocol, and the Live Mesh team explain how the FeedSync synchronization works in this Channel 9 video.

Designing Live Mesh

Architect Abolade Gbadegesin describes the approach he took to designing Live Mesh in this video on Channel 9.
