The more I take a look at Silverlight, the more I am convinced that this is going to be the business application presentation layer of the future. Because of that, I am seriously considering abandoning ProtoStack whose premise was to create a framework that allows easy portability of prestentation-facing code, as well as business and [...]
With the upcoming release of Visual Studio 2010 and .Net 4.0, naturally my thoughts went to the future of Prism. The Simplifying patterns & practices blog posted an entry of what is in store.
Prism, A Look Ahead
Of all the listed focus items for the Prism update, I’m excited about MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) the most. [...]
Looks like blue / purple is the new rainbow. Microsoft ditches their multi-color logos for .Net and Visual Studio in favor for the new cool-blue feel.
With all these color changes, I thought that my Innogetics logo was getting dated, so I gave it a color change as well.
It appears that I do not have to implement multiple data options for my ProtoStack project as there’s another project out there that’s providing a DDD framework over various persistence implementations. It’s called NCommon.
It is a framework for implementing Unit of Work and Repository patterns over NHibernate, Linq-to-SQL and the Entity Framework.
After getting some work started on Orchestra and setting up the initial framework, I decided to step back and look at the possibility of developing the Windows and Web (ASP.NET MVC) versions of the application in parallel. It led me to look for frameworks that is best for this kind of development. With Prism and [...]
The stock market was getting challenging for technical analysts so I lost motivation in developing the Euclid project (mentioned in the previous post.) Perhaps I will revisit it once the markets and trading get interesting again.
I have instead resumed developing my WPF ERP framework. I am currently using / planning to use the following free frameworks [...]
I was starting to do coding on generating Simple Moving Averages of Yahoo! Finance quotes when I found out that there already is an extensive technical analysis function library called TA-Lib.
Making use of what’s out there instead of reinventing the wheel, I’m going to use the following libraries / frameworks for Euclid:
TA-Lib: Technical Analysis Library. It [...]
In line with my new side project, I have ordered two books from Amazon. I’m keen on getting things started on the right foot by following DDD (Domain Driven Design).
Expert C# 2008 Business Objects, which covers CSLA 3.6, written, of course, by Rockford Lhotka.
and Model-Driven Design Using Business Patterns, by Pavel Hruby, which is the [...]
I must have been too busy with transitioning at work, this release escaped my radar. I’ve been playing around with the Smart Client Software Factory for Windows Forms and have gotten to like it. However, I found it quite clunky at times. So, I’m quite thrilled that they decided to rebuild the Composite Applications idea from [...]
I created a new social network for .Net Developers, called NET-DEV. The idea is to have a place to simply share what each one is up to and help each other out. Interesting stuff from YouTube, DotNet Rocks, and others are also posted there.
