- | * friend flockrs: isFriend | + | Rather than building a platform-independent framework, our aim is to assist in the rapid development of pervasive social networking applications. The Urbiflock framework has been entirely written in the AmbientTalk language. As such, no configuration is required to be able to quickly script new applications on it once AmbientTalk is running on the target platform. |
