Hi,

I need references to anything that discusses efficient ways to develop
social networking applications such as myspace , facebook, and linkedIn. I've
heard there are couple of books in the subject, I couldn't find any good
source myself.

Thanks,
David
 
Hello David,

Is this what you are looking for,

ASP.NET 3.5 Social Networking
http://www.packtpub.com/expert-guide-for-social-networking-with-asp-.net-3.5
/book.

"Social Networking is all about developing connections or ties between
friends and associates. While people have always networked with one another
the Internet has allowed us to network with people all over the world
easily. Any interest or cause can support its own social network, where
fans and followers can meet, chat, and share their views. But building a
social networking site from scratch involves some complex logic, and some
serious coding.

This book shows how to build a scalable, enterprise-ready social network
using ASP.NET. The book uses the latest features of ASP.NET to provide a
platform that is efficient, easy to maintain, and extensible. Whether you
want to build your own social network, are developing a social site for a
customer or employer, or just want a practical guide to developing complex
ASP.NET applications then this book is ideal for you.

The book starts by planning the essential features of our social network,
and then building a 'community framework' that will give our site a solid
foundation and enable us to add all our social networking features. We then
go on to create user accounts, profile pages, messaging systems, 'friend'
relationships between members, media galleries, blogs, message boards,
groups, and more. Along the way you will see LINQ, MVC, AJAX, and other
features of ASP.NET 3.5 put to practical and interesting uses."

Hi Ji,

Thank you for your reply.

I followed your link and it looks like something I'm looking for, but I was
wondering if there is anything for free that I can use.

All Best,
David

Hello David,

I did do some more research, but there are no free books about this topic
found on the net. I also tried to search for some open source social
networking application for you. But most of the open source products are
not created by ASP.NET.
