Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook
Welcome to the Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook. This toolkit was built by Thuzi in collaboration with Microsoft to give the community a good starter kit for getting Facebook apps up and running in Windows Azure. Facebook apps hosted in Azure provide a flexible and scalable cloud computing platform for the smallest and largest of Facebook applications. Whether you have millions of users or just a few thousand, the Facebook Azure Toolit helps you to build your app correctly so that if your app is virally successful, you won't have to architect it again. You will just need to increase the number of instances you are using, then you are done scaling. :)DISCLAIMER: This toolkit does not demonstrate how to create a facebook application. It is assumed that you already know how to do that or are willing to learn how to do that. there are plenty of links below on how to do this. Here is one, Link that is also listed below that helps explain how to set up an app and there are plenty of sample in the Facebook Developers Toolkit.
NOTE: You must use Visual Studio 2010 RC to open the project.
