Windows Live Quick App & Clubspaces: Field Manager
[Via]Clubspaces is an online social networking community which helps you to create and manage your own club online, communicate with members and connect with other clubs. Clubspaces lets you freely manage your club (sports or social) operations, communicate with your members or parents and connect with other online clubs. Clubspaces, built on the Microsoft platform, enables you to quickly setup, manage, communicate, and connect with your club members.
Recently, we worked with Clubspaces to envision how they could leverage a number of Windows Live Services and new technologies like Silverlight. It quickly became apparent that there was a great opportunity to develop a solution that provided huge value to Clubspaces and its customers. It was also planned that the source would be made available to the Developer community and essentially anyone that would like to download the source code, customize it, and use the Field Manager Quick App.
Clubspaces and Microsoft partner, SharpLogic developed and released the beta of (MyGameDay) Field Manager, a Windows Live Quick App* to Codeplex.
CodePlex is Microsoft’s open source project hosting web site. *Windows Live Quick Applications Beta provide customizable out-of-the box solutions for specific Web scenarios. Each Quick App is built on Windows Live services and is offered as a source code download for you to use today.
