SharePoint 2013 Public Beta adventure notes - Part 2

This is a good link to understand what the new features for SharePoint developers on MSDN.

1. There is new column type called geolocation, if you registered the BingMap key with SharePoint by code or powershell (a new web/app property ["BING_MAPS_KEY"]). The then bing map with the location will be shown in your list.

2. BCS added some good features.
    - Notification and event receivers.
    - Use client model library to access external content type data and REST support

3. When creating Web Application, one of the big changes is that Claims-based Authentication is the default authentication option. The classic Mode Authentication can only be managed by PowerShell cmdlet Convert-SPWebApplication.
