Entity framework and nhibernate too complex? Say hello to FluentData. (fluentdata.codeplex.com)

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 3 months, 8 days ago

Are you tired of fighting with overly complex ORMs such as Entity Framework and NHibernate? Are you tired of poorly generated SQL or having to change your business objects to work with your ORM? Do you miss the power and performance of ADO.NET and SQL, but not the manual tedious work? If so FluentData might be the framework for you. FluentData is a Micro ORM that makes it simple to select, insert, update and delete data in a database. It gives the developer the power of ADO.NET but with the convenience of an ORM. It has a simple to use fluent API that uses SQL - the best and most suitable language to query data, and SQL or fluent builders to insert, update and delete data. read more...

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 7 months, 25 days ago

The first stable release of Abmho is out. It is by no means the first or only syntax highlighter on the web. There are quite a few out there but the vast majority aren't usable. Abmho can mix languages within the same code snippet, allows you to style your code with live preview and many more features. Perhaps one of the most interesting feature is that it is a silverlight application that runs both on the web and optionally installable as an OOB application. read more...

submitted by Bognit(2125) 8 months, 29 days ago

This article by Ethan Marcotte on Responsive Web Design has been widely touted as the designer's panacea for all things mobile.

Considering the amount of influence these guys have on young designers, it saddens me that leading designers, of all people, would sacrifice their art on the altar of a quick fix. read more...
