VAN: Castle Monorail, Active Record and Brail talk at Wednesday 8PM CST (-5 GMT), by yours truly.

Last week I did a talk on Windsor and it went..ok. I’m not used to online presentations and am more experienced in front of crowds that I can interact with.

So between last week’s experience and some advice from Agile Joe this talk I’ll be aiming for more of a screen cast feel.  The talk should go for close to an hour and will be open for questions afterword.

Outline is as follows (subject to change):

  • Monorail
    • Controllers
    • Windsor integration
    • Grouping controllers (“Area’s”)
    • Aspect Oriented Programming through Filters
  • Brail View Engine
    • Conditionals and Iterators
    • Parent/Child Views
    • Sub Views
    • Rescues
  • Active Record
    • Architecture overview
    • Using multiple databases
    • Using Active Record in a more DDD friendly way
    • Introduction to writing queries in HQL
    • Working with the underlying ISession.

If any of you have the time drop by for some/all of this and give me some feedback please do so.

About Ryan Svihla

I'm a late entry to software engineering. Originally a sysadmin (*nix and windows) and computer tech, my only experience with programming was vbscript, python, ruby, perl and php for a variety of simple tasks. Being a sysadmin left me with the opportunity to administer a lot of enterprise software that was expensive, hard to maintain, rarely did what the customer or I wanted and involved awful support. Convinced that software did not have to be that bad I spent the next several years attempting to be a software developer that would not leave my customers with an expensive, hard to maintain product. This search lead me to agile development practices and great sites like Los Techies. I have developed applications mostly in C#, Python , Java and then back to C#. I'm currently a C# developer for Carenet in San Antonio, TX . I try to make all of non-work code available on github.com
