The Community Tech Preview of the beWeeVee SDK allows you to create applications in .Net 3.5 and Silverlight by using the Operational Transformation Engine. The engine allows you to synchronize native data structures and text. beWeeVee is an implementation of a technology similar to the reconciliation process that Google Wave uses for real-time collaboration (aka multiparty text writing).
With this CTP we intend to show the flexibility of the API to interact with controls and primitives across the Microsoft .Net technology stack. In order to accomplish that, we have implemented sample text authoring controls for WPF and Winforms and drawing examples in Silverlight. In some cases, we have also provided versions of the same examples by using real peer- to-peer communication channels and server-based architectures.
You can download the SDK from:
In the downloadable package you will find the following: - beWeeVee API Binaries for .Net 3.5 and Silverlight 3
- beWeeVee API Documentation in Compiled HTML (.chm).
- “How to write beWeeVee enabled applications in Word 2007 Format” also available in the blog.
- 2 WPF Notepad examples (Server based and P2P -wcf peer channel- based example).
- 3 “Silverlight 3″ examples (including point based sketching, stroke based sketching with server in the same form and stroke based sketching with server).
- 1 beginners very basic WinForm example on how to write your own control with the Low-Level API.
You can also download as a separate bundle the academic support material of the talks at CodeCamp 2009:
- The CodeCamp MVVM example with “fake synchronization” (linking to the same ViewModel).
- The CodeCamp MVVM example with real synchronization using beWeeVee.
- The PowerPoint we used at CodeCamp (the PowerPoint is in Spanish, but it has some interesting diagrams of how things look like).
You can use this SDK to create collaborative applications using graphics, text and whatever you can put in a collection. This SDK is, as of 29th of September, the technology that we are using to develop:
We also included a TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW LICENSE AGREEMENT that can be also found in the License.txt file that basically states that this is a pre-release (non final) version that should be used for demonstration or academic purpose.
