• A Serious Challenge for Open Source?

  I’ve been studying alternative data access methodologies for dashCommerce as I’m not pleased with SubSonic. I’ve been looking at some alternatives and in my searching I came across LightSpeed. LightSpeed has some really nice features such as the LightSpeedContext and the UnitOfWork which encapsulate some very nice features. The model designer of LightSpeed is very [...] Posted Aug 15 2008, 09:42 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Uncategorized

• Going Dark . . .

  My wife and I are expecting our 3rd child (gulp!) any day now so I am going to be going dark for a few weeks. I’ll be around, and tending to administrative things, but I won’t be on the forums too much. Hopefully, when I get back, I’ll have some cool things to show for [...] Posted Aug 13 2008, 08:02 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Uncategorized

• dashCommerce Conference Call Anyone?

Although, I’m not sure how that will work out . . . Does anyone have any experience pulling something like this off? Is it a [...] Posted Aug 05 2008, 08:47 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, dashCommerce

• dashCommerce - Giving even more to the community!

  A couple of weeks ago I went around and contributed to just about every open source framework / assembly / tool that dashCommerce uses except for 2. One because they never got back to me on how to contribute and another because the project leader is a bit of a dweeeeeeeb. So, who got the cash? They  are: AlpineSoft.EZRSA - [...] Posted Aug 04 2008, 05:17 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, dashCommerce

• dashCommerce V.Next - Dependency Injection / IoC

  We’ve already started doing some refactoring of dashCommerce for V.Next. Right now, I have been doing the work on my code base for dashCommerce.com because I usually guinea pig that first to see how stuff is going to work. With the next rev, we are going to be introducing some Dependency Injection and IoC in [...] Posted Aug 04 2008, 04:47 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding, Open Source, dashCommerce

• Where are all the new ideas?

  I’ve been thinking a little lately about .NET, programming in general and all the stuff going on in the .NET space over the last few years. The conclusion that I’ve reached is that there are no new ideas in the .NET space that I can put my finger on.  Let me refine that a bit [...] Posted Aug 02 2008, 05:28 PM by Chris Cyvas Filed under: Coding
