Learning in the open — Sample application for Castle stack

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

We’re get­ting really close to new release of major Cas­tle Project ele­ments (Mono­rail 2.0, ActiveRe­cord 2.1, Wind­sor 2.1…). Coin­ci­dently I started build­ing a small appli­ca­tion on top of the stack, and I thought it would be a good idea to make this a “learn­ing in the open” expe­ri­ence, and share my progress on this blog.

This will mostly (at least ini­tially) be a rework of Ayende’s old series, but I will update it to the lat­est ver­sion of the projects and try to dis­cuss some new fea­tures as we go along.

I don’t have the appli­ca­tion ready yet. This is a jour­ney for me, and as I don’t really have much expe­ri­ence with either Mono­rail or ActiveRe­cord, I may do stu­pid things. That’s the part where your feed­back comes into play. I want to drive this series on feed­back in much greater degree than the series on Dynamic Proxy. If you want me to dive into details on cer­tain top­ics – let me know. If you think I should have done some­thing dif­fer­ently and revisit some parts – let me know.

That’s all for now – see you next time.
