SaaS Sample Application Finally HERE!
It took us a bit more than expected, but a few minutes ago, we released Litware HR: our SaaS sample application.
The sample is a fictitious HR application, but what matters is not what it does, but how it does it. Architected as a single instance multi tenant solution, this application embodies many of the architecture principles we have published in our whitepapers [1] [2] and show how Microsoft technologies can be used for successfully build SaaS solutions.
But enough talking about it... and let's move to the "goods":
Repository of the code and related documentation (including webcasts):

Good place to start:

Now that the baby is out of the door... time for me to start blogging again :)

P.S.
BIG THANK YOU to Wu Hao, Mandy, Marty, Tim as well as Alex, Ariel and all the Southies at Southworks without you this would not have been possible. I hope I have forgotten anybody, if I have, thank you to you too.
