Social networking application in ASP.NET

1 New Member
I'm looking to develop a social networking application where the user can search for music to add to their library, fairly similar to last.fm. The user can then search for friends with similar music tastes and add them to a friends list. I was thinking of doing this in ASP.Net with a MySQL database and a html frontend. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips they could offer me?

My brother recently started a social networking site, I was skeptical at first, but I saw it really take off. My suggestion is go for it, work on one piece at a time and get lots of feedback.

BTW, you posted your question in the ASP forum, which is for "classic" ASP only. ASP.NET questions are currently posted in the .NET forum. I'll move it to the right place for you.

I need to implement a concept somewhat similar to social networking sites like orkut/linkedIn etc etc... The story is below...... 'A' can send request to any other member say 'B' to join his network. The B joins his network. Now 'A' can approach the 'B' 's contacts by 2 ways directly or through 'B' and so on. Now suppose there is 'Z' somewhere in the chain of 'B' , when I search for 'Z' it will display me that you can reach 'Z' from 'B'...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
