Claims based Identity Guide – New release and PDC goodness

New updated chapters & samples are posted on CodePlex. The samples are all updated for WIF RC and include new scenarios and technologies (e.g. web services with WCF and web sites with MVC).

If you are going to PDC, lot’s of interesting things are happening there. Of all things, you will have a chance to see (and speak) to the faces behind the blogs: Vittorio Bertocci, Matias Woloski, Keith Brown.

We have printed a limited amount of “preview” copies of the Guide. You can get them at Pluralsight’s (#441), patterns & practices and Identity booths.

In addition to the “previews”, Pluralsight is giving away a ton of great content: (3) Zune HDs loaded with Pluralsight On-Demand! content, Pluralsight Cloud tag t-shirts & 1-week subscriptions to Pluralsight On-Demand! . And, if let them know, they will be hosting their first-ever annual Pluralsight Customer Appreciation Party. Invite required for entrance.
