Thank God, its Friday. Even after a full 32 ounces of strong Starbucks coffee, I still fell asleep on the train on the way in. Entity Framework/OR/M/LINQ The excellent Entity Framework discussions continue with Scott Bellware's fine Entity Framework Challenges Architecture One of my core principles of Agile Architecture that I will talk about in Monteal next month is that of Lighweight Modeling. Core to that, is what Scott Bellware said, That's "Model-Driven", not "Diagram Driven ." Like Scott says, I also put my model into the domain and evolving that model. I too don't find much use for diagrams, particuarly the waste of time Whitehorse ones or worse yet the Rational Rose ones. But, as Jeremy noted from his discussion with me , I *do* find the use of a very small subset of UML used rather precisely in drawing quick, non-durable model diagrams on the board. In fact, Jim Shore and I taught our team to do it in any part of the code base at any time. Harry channeling Nick , "Nick Malik on enterprise architecture : "Enterprise Architecture is not about 'building solutions right'. Enterprise Architecture is about 'building the right solutions'. Agile/Good Software Design Jeremy on the DRY principle and the Wormhole Anti-Pattern He also points to the great piece Top ten things ten years of professional software development has taught me . Agreed with all of it Jonathan has a niece piece that I vigorously nodded my head in agreement with, Pair Programming improves your Communication Skills .NET/CLR Scott Hanselman - A Better Way for Click Once and Firefox . Yes!! Misc I was ROTFL when I read Lazycoder's rant , "Save me from having to type more angle brackets. Please. I’m tired of $#@$@ angle brackets. My “,” and “.” keys are worn to a nub. My shift key is floppy and has no spring left.No more angle-bracket based UI. EVER." Technorati Tags: .NET , Orcas , Entity Framework , Read More...

This is it, the big 150! The first New and Notable was on May 19, 2003 , (my first post was March 29, 2002 ) and I paid homage to the master, "I have always admired Mike's ability to look at the world out there and put it all into one great post, The Daily Grind . While I can't pretend to have Mike's writing ability, I would like to start moving to something similar instead of multiple seperate posts." I wish I had the discipline of Mike because if I posted daily I would be well towards 1000 instead of 150-) but hey I'm pretty proud of my record. I love this community and in the last 25 years this community (and Microsoft) have been real good to me and my family. I hope that what I have been picking here has been of good use to the community to keep you informed on key .NET activities as well as the architectural and design side. Thus, I go forth and pick: Entity Framework, ADO.NET 3, Orcas, MVP Summit One of the best writers in the community today is certainly Jeremy Miller . His latest post, MVP Summit Recapped: Linq for Entities, MonoRail, and Shameless Name Dropping , is a fine example of why. In one post, he is able to write quite elequently on complex subjects like the subtle design flaws in Entity Framework 3 and why WF 4 will rock your world. He is able to take a technology, stick to his design principles and stand his ground, educating and helping all involved achieve something better than was there before. He certainly wasn't the only one of us doing that but his post really captures the core design principles of no infrastructure code in business logic classes. Infrastructure is Infrastructure, business logic is business logic. We want the same thing: No marker interfaces, no codegen, no partial classes. Just plain "PO" and support for the Unit of Work pattern. David Laribee also talks on this area and makes clear that its a vision thing that doesn't really compare to NHibernate which is just OR/M; it's a full Read More...

Yup, I'm still stuck in Seattle and I still feel like crap. Tomas just went off to the airport and I feel like the last MVP left in Seattle. Just want to get out of here and home but can't do that until tomorrow night. Lots of stuff stored up Entity Framework/ADO.NET 3/ORM/ASP.NET/MonoRail I consider my (and all the Code Better guys) biggest contribution to the whole Summit has been our conversations with the Microsoft Data Team on Linq for Entities . I would like to thank the Microsoft guys for being so open to feedback and understanding us In the meantime, Ayende went and did LINQ for NHibernate in his spare Time; does this man ever sleep???? Actually the second proudest moment came some of us CB bloggers with the special meeting with Scott Guthrie on how to make ASP.Net better support MVC much like Rails and MonoRail. My dissatisfaction with ASP.NET is well known and the reasons are expressed well by Ayende here on the leaky abstractions with WebForms and Jeremy Miller here . I expressed many times on my blog that I would just as soon go to Ruby on Rails if I had to do any Web stuff today. Several of the CB bloggers let me know about the goodness that is MonoRail. It's really awesome to see ScottGu have an MVC framework in the works as Jeffery talks about here Inheritance in the Entity Framework is the latest from the Data Team They also updated the 101 LINQ Samples that were included in the March CTP have now been updated to include the 101 LINQ to Entities Samples. To check out the newest samples download from here . Software Architecture/WCF/SOA Nice discussion from Harry on answering Dr. Nick's questions on SSB/WCF The Feb 2007 release of both the GAT and GAX have been released with Vista support but Harry has noted that you have to re-install all your guidance packages which is not so good Christian Weyer has some great slide decks from DevWeek 2007 Matias has an awesome post, " The holy grail of Enterprise SOA security " about SOA Enterprise Security using WCF Read More...

Ayende says, " Here is an interesting discussion about this topic. Apperantly you will not be able to just take any object and persist it using the Entity Framework. You need to either inherit from a base class, or (in the future) implement a set of interfaces. I can't figure out what the reason for that is. It is not as if supporting POCO persistance ignorance is hard or complicate the framework (at least not compare to the issues of the persistance and querying themselves). One of the goals for NHibernate is that you should be able to develop your application where only the controller has a reference to NHibernate, nothing else. " Just know that myself, Jeremy Miller, Scott Bellware, Richard Llelyn are taking the Entity folks apart about this as we speak (at the Summit) and teaching them about NHibernate.
