I forgot a couple of things I wanted to say…
Firstly, it’s been a while since I updated Subtext, so I went ahead and did that. And just in case you’re as dumb as I am, late me save you a few minutes by informing you to make sure you don’t copy up the web.config blindly. Oh yeah…there was 5 minutes of my time wasted digging around for the connection string to the blog’s database so I could put the site back together…Good times….
But back to KodeBits. I wanted to touch on my reasoning behind this.. I’ve been playing around with ASP.NET MVC for a little while now, and I’ve been really looking for a site to build with it. And now that ASP.NET MVC 2 is on it’s way, I finally figure something out. The technologies I’m using are:
- SubSonic AND Entity Framework (That’s right both)
- ASP.NET MVC 1.0 (Will upgrade to 2.0 once that’s in VS2010)
- Structure Map – Don’t know how I got along without this..
- A whole lot of jQuery love
Yeah, I’m using a simple repository pattern, and I wanted to have two different repository types built off of my Interfaces. Why? Cuz I can. I know it’s extra work, but I like the idea of being able to flip between two for no reason whatsoever. Plus I wanted to show a colleague the benefits of the repository/interface approach.
Hrm, ok I think that’s it for real this time.
So I put “Stylez” or whatever on hold. I re-read Rob Conery’s post and put a little more thought into it. I decided a “Blog” isn’t something I want to write, at least right now. But I did decide on something that I’ve been working on.
No details yet, but what I will say is this.
I’m pretty set now with what I want to do. I’ll give you a clue though, my inspiration came from this post from Drew Miller about the release of Color Code 1.0.
Also, I’ve started working recently with Dario Solera on ScrewTurn Wiki. IMO one of the best pieces of Wiki software out there. Dario put’s a lot of effort into it, and I think it shows. Not to mention it’s free, and open source.
Ok that’s enough, back to work!
