The WIF online documentation just got a brand-new section, which provides a great reference for the WIF configuration elements. It’s very well written & organized, and certainly beats digging in the config schema! Try it, I am sure you’ll find some nice feature you may have missed until now, like the chance of…
As promised few weeks ago, here there’s the update to the identity developer training kit and the identity developer training course on MSDN. We revved the instructions for the two HOLs about the ACS Labs release, refactoring instructions to match the look & feel f the newest AppFabric portal. As I am sure…
The archaeopteryx roamed the south of Germany in the late Jurassic. It is considered the very first bird species, although many of its features (teeth, wing claws, bony tail) are clearly still dinosaur-like rather than avian. It had the first ever-recorded asymmetric wing feathers, one key characteristic which helps the lift in the…
It’s been few months that we pulled the wrap off FabrikamShipping SaaS, and the response (example here) has been just great: I am glad you guys are finding the sample useful! In fact, FabrikamShipping SaaS contains really a lot of interesting stuff and I am guilty of not having found the time to…
As the AppFabric services line up with the look & feel of the SL based Windows Azure portal, the ACS Labs gets a restyling too! Wade tells you everything about the new release here. I love the new look of the ACS portal: the new left-hand navigation menu saves you many clicks, and…

Today we are releasing an update to the Identity Developer Training Kit; we are also releasing the first MSDN-hosted Identity Developer Training Course, an online version of the kit where all the labs instructions and setup files are unbundled and individually accessible. Both are heavily cloud-flavored. January 2011 Identity Developer Training Kit Besides…
[Yes, another non-identity and non-cloud related post about gadgets: after all, it’s Saturday! But the next one will be a serious post, I promise] Being able at any time to pull out from your pocket a phone capable of capturing megapixel pictures & videos is awesome, but oftentimes I do miss the versatility…

It feels like a year already, but in fact it’s been not even 5 months that Programming Windows Identity Foundation hit the virtual and physical shelves. Last week I was hanging out with Giorgio at a certain library, and out of curiosity I checked if they had a copy of the book: it…
Back in December one pretty important piece of news didn’t get as much air time as it would have deserved: we recently changed the WIF SDK EULA so that you can now freely (and happily) include & redistribute the WIF runtime (& samples) with your applications. Isn’t that awesome? This came back to…
