This book will show you how to create a scalable, maintainable social network that can support hundreds of thousands of users, complete with multimedia features. This book is written for ASP.NET and C# developers who want to build an enterprise-grade Social Network, either for their own business purposes or as a contract job for another company. The book assumes you have prior experience of developing web applications using ASP.NET 3.5, C# 3.0, SQL Server 2005/2008, and Visual Studio .NET 2008; it focuses on topics that will be of interest to existing developers – not on providing step-by-step examples for each detail.
