Microsoft WebMatrix & UserVoice
in
Today Microsoft launched their new web development platform WebMatrix. WebMatrix includes everything you need for website development (apart from creativity!!). Start from open source web applications, built-in web templates or just start writing code yourself.
Along with the release of WebMatrix itself Microsoft have authored several helpers to even further reduce the effort involved in creating engaging websites. In their own words:
"They [WebMatrix Helpers] provide you a simple and consistent way of performing common web development tasks that otherwise would require a great deal of custom coding. With a few lines of code you should be able to secure your web site using membership, store information in Windows Azure Storage, integrate your site with Facebook, among others things."
We are very excited that UserVoice was chosen as one of the helpers that Microsoft decided to create for the launch of WebMatrix. The helper makes it very easy to integrate UserVoice into your website and not just adding the widget, it also allows SSO and provides the ability to make some public api calls as well!!!
