In this series: Creating an authenticated web application and using Azure Functions to invite guest users to the organization Creating an access package and redeeming it In the last article, we created an application that can be accessed only by the users assigned to it. We also used Azure Functions and Microsoft Graph API to invite guest users to the organization.

Finally, my custom blogging platform is ready and raring to go. I will try to write as frequently as I can and keep making platform improvements. Since I have been working on building my blogging platform for some time, I think my opening blog should talk about how the platform works. September 23, 2016: I have migrated my blog to Hugo, which is a static site generator. Azure WebApps still hosts this blog.
