Here are some highlights of the redesign:</p> <ul> <li>Move to a newer Information Architecture (IA) </li><li><strong>Content organized into relevant topic areas</strong> (Overview, Videos, Tutorials, etc.) to make information easier to find and to learn </li><li><strong>Improved onboarding experience</strong> developers new to&nbsp;ASP.NET will find it easier to get started&nbsp; </li><li><strong>Important Samples and Tutorials</strong> are positioned prominently in the structure of the site so that they are easier to find </li><li><strong>A modern and less cluttered user experience</strong> to give you a better look and feel </li></ul> <p>Not all content is currently accessible on the Beta site, and not all of the features are in place, but please give it a test drive and let us know what you think! The ASP.NET team, working with Neudesic, will continue to iterate over the information architecture and design in the coming weeks, and we are targeting to launch the redesigned site by the end of November.</p> <p>We are using the <strong>UserVoice</strong> site to collect, track, and respond to <strong>improvement suggestions</strong> for this website Beta: <a href="http://aspnet.uservoice.com/forums/136460-www-asp-net-website-"> www.asp.net feedback on UserVoice</a>. We welcome your feedback!</p> 2011-10-07T19:23:49-04:00
