At the Visual Studio 2013 Launch Event (Nov. 13th 2013), Microsoft used a set of demo applications to explain the new features in .NET 4.5.1 and Visual Studio 2013.

MyCompany (demo applications) is a sample/demo simplified enterprise application suite, single tenant, SaaS solution deployed on Windows Azure and some of it on O365, and composed by several autonomous custom business applications.

What these demo applications are NOT about

These applications are not production systems and are not intended as a guidance for mission-critical applications, as it mostly covers CRUD and Data-Driven scenarios, only. If you need guidance for complex scenarios, we recommend to check guidance material from the Microsoft Patterns & Practices group like the ‘CQRS Journey guidance’, which shows a reference application with a related functional domain & scope (Events/Conferences platform) but from a different point of view based on design-patterns and best architectural practices for complex scenarios, covering approaches like CQRS (Command & Query Responsibility Segregation) & DDD (Domain Driven Design).
