I just used Ninject.dll - I don't know what all of those other DLLs are...

I cover the TDD angle towards the end - this is mostly a primer on Unit Testing with a nod towards testing and design towards the end.

I just took all the defaults and have no opinion on SSH - that part is up to you.

You tried to upgrade the app and it failed I take it. And from the sound of it you kept on trying through repeated failure? Sounds to me like a better message might be "don't try to upgrade this" although I have no idea what you did. I'm confused...

Oh jeez - my bad. In the subject it says "Preview" - my apologies. We're a little out of step it appears because I'm in the middle of recording things with Oren and I had to pause while he's in Malmo (at Oredev). I'll get it all sync'd up on Sunday.

Not really - you could but that gets messy really quick (in my opinion). It makes more sense (to me) to build a repo per "context", which is sort of a DDD approach. The "Bounded Context" in DDD is the overall "subject" of the domain - in this case the blog is my Bounding Context. If I had something else in there - maybe something like a place where you could buy my code samples - that would be another context, like "Commerce Context" and I'd want to separate that into another repo.

The complexity issue is really tough to deal with at this point - I don't want to over-engineer things but I also need to be sure I remain flexible..

It doesn't because this is the preview :) and we're moving right along, building things out.

I also found Resharper very hard to get a grip on. Have you tested CodeRush? I like it a lot more.

Thanks Bob - it wasn't rushed - it took me a really long time to put it
together :). The point of it was to introduce the Fluent stuff and show how
it could be used in place of what we've done - and as I mention in the video
I'll be adding to it *a lot* in the future.

Hi Rob

Thanks for the link I will go and digest.

My first taste of MVC was your "Little Scripter" talk at MIX09
which I found really insipring, thank you it put me on this path.

I agree with the whole reinveninting the wheel thing.

This may not go here, but it might be a good item for a future video. I have followed your BDD post and have been writing a test project for myself. Got it all working, etc. Then I through in SubSonic 3. Since most of the BDD specs test values at construction, do you have a recommended method of creating BDD specs when using SubSonic (active record in this case)? It's that whole not reinventing the wheel thing again. =)

More specifically, the spec requires testing member variables after construction, yet the default constructor doesn't default the values.

Aloha

Also - have a look at http://asp.net/mvc. On the home page are 3 videos I
did including an 80 minute of building Nerddinner.

One of the optimizations (that I'm aware of) was to make the use of
Reflection "cost" less in 3.5. I think (and this is my speculation) that the
use of Expressions/Linq was one of the reasons.

Hi Eric - thanks for the feedback :). No reason RE AssemblyInfo.cs - it's a
holdover from an old project and I need to remove it.

RE Git - too much? I need to explain it a bit as it's part of my workflow -
but I hear what you mean. I will be doing more stuff on the things you ask
about, yes.

Yes, I'll be connecting straight to MySQL/Wordpress DB. Why reinvent the
wheel :).

Finally - I'd push the future titles but I don't know them yet. This is
freeform, I make it up as I go.

It's too bad Silverlight is enough to keep you from learning things.

Re: Tekpub: Concepts - Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control

robconery — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:43:25 -0000

I was using the latest build - could be a version issue. Try StandardModule?

Weird as it's being delivered from Amazon S3... maybe a glitch on their end

True enough and one thing that needs to be addressed is "when to do it" -
I'll go into this with Kona (the NHib series). Long-running apps (aka
"Successful") need to be swapped out/hosed down from time to time *without*
the Great Rewrite. That's what IoC buys you. It's glacial in terms of this
demo, but in large apps it is an amazing life saver.

Hi Rob

I find there's a BIG startup hit with R#, and again when loading another solution, but once it's parsed everything and has paged in, VS is as responsive as ever. You just have to get used to these initial hits. But the power you get in return is WELL worth it! Stick it out and learn the shortcuts and it'll reward you in droves!

R# is a huge product, so if you need any quick-start-style suggestions of cool-kid stuff you need to know right away, let me know ;-)

Cheers,

Mike.

Thanks mike - I managed to redo all the parts where I goofed Oren't name
except for in the video - missed that one. The metallic thing is from
Camtasia and I've been hounding Oren to get a new microphone which he's
purchasing this week :).

RE Resharper - you know I have tried that thing 5 times now and each time I
grumble and uninstall it. I have the cheatsheet open next to me here, the
problem is that it sucks the life out of VS.

I'll try it again...

Thanks - I think I might have mentioned that too quickly but you need to
reference the only DLL that Ninject gives you: Ninject.dll.

robconery — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:49:39 -0000

Thanks for letting me know - I'll reload the videos.

Re: Tekpub: Concepts - Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control

robconery — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:27:27 -0000

Yes - I'll be using DI/IoC in Kona as well as my blog app.
