Lync developer information on MSDN

Today, I wanted to share a couple of helpful links to extending Lync, Microsoft's new online communication and collaboration tool/platform/application. Lync can be used in the enterprise by installing the server and appropriate client, or, you can get the service from the cloud with Office 365.

If you are interested in integrating such features to your own application, or wish to extend Lync itself, it is best to get started with the topic "Lync 2010 SDK Development Models" here. After that, you might want to read the document titled "Lync Server 2010 Application API Overview" here.

I haven't yet found broad third-party documentation about these topics, but this is to be expected as the product is itself quite new. If you haven't yet tried Lync, you should. For product information, check out here.
