Announcing the New BenkoTIPS.com site!

Today I’ve finally completed migration the content and links to webcasts, downloads and more from the original site I built as a developer resource in 2005 to a new version deployed in Azure. Originally deployed using DotNetNuke, the new site is built with the latest ASP.NET tools, technologies and techniques.

I’ve almost migrated the site to several technologies over the last several years, including SharePoint, .NET Web Forms and most recently MVC. The new site is built leveraging OData, .NET 4.0, combined Azure roles and more. I toyed with the idea of including a membership provider to the original user database, but instead implemented Access Control Services (ACS) to allow you to authenticate with Google, Facebook, Yahoo and LiveID instead. I will be showcasing how this is done in an upcoming webcast on Cloud Identity.

You should find that the old links should still work for the most part, but if something doesn’t please let me know – send me an email (from the link in the left hand pane that says Talk to Mike).

Enjoy!
