Social Networking

Hi,

We are in a process of developing Social Networking site using Microsoft platforms. Please suggest the best combination of technologies to use like JQuery Ajax with WCF etc..

Thanks in advance,
Sudhir.

This seems to be a very broad question. The technology stack that comes to my mind is (there could be various combinations)
- ASP.NET MVC 4
- Web API
- jQuery
- Backbonejs or knockoutjs
- Entity framework 4.3 (this works well, contrary to popular misconceptions about performance issues)
- Any client side view template like jsrender, mustache etc.
- NUnit/mbunit with Rhino Mock or Moq for unit testing
- Any well known caching product/library like redis etc.
- Selenium/watin for automation testing
- Any javascript based vector library like paperjs, raphaeljs etc.

Hope this helps.
