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

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 3 months, 6 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...

Dean Hume - ASP.net MVC HTML5 Toolkit(deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachino(764) 1 year, 9 months ago

If you haven't started playing around with HTML5 yet, you should definitely check it out. I've blogged about some of the features of HTML5 before, so if you take a look at this post, it should give you a fairly idea of what HTML5 is about. I try and play around with ASP.net MVC as much as possible and this site is also written in MVC 2. One of the things that I thought about adding to MVC is the ability to have all the textboxes and controls updated to use HTML5. One of the great things about HTML5 is that even though some browsers do not currently support it, you will still be able to use it in your web applications and the browser will just handle it as a normal HTML control if it doesn't recognize it. read more...
