It has certainly been a long time coming. A very... very.. long time.
I can finally now say that elan3.com has been redesigned and rewritten from the ground up. This time, in ASP.NET / C# 3.0!
This new rendition of elan3 will be my playground for the latest in Microsoft development technologies, and is partially inspired by my recent trip to Florida for Devconnections.
Since I'm starting again from scratch, there is a lot of work to be re-done, and this is just the beginning. I'll be incorporating things I liked from the previous site into this, and chucking things that just plain didn't work (bye-bye AJAX chat). Thanks to the wonders of Master Pages, I can build tons of little widgets for that sidebar over there on the left, and contextually display them depending on where you're at in the site heirarchy.
Styling will also be a big part as well, and as you can see in the style section, I'm planning on adding lots of these, and having them change based on various business rules for a variety of purposes.
It's certainly going to be fun reviving elan3, and this time actually keeping it updated on a regular basis! ;)
