This Week: Martin Woodward, MVP Summit, Web Perf, Show Off, and a VSTS Pep Talk

The Discussion

• 

  The J# joke was fun

• 

  According to her blog, Tess last name is actually Ferrandez, not Fernandez. So no relation to Dan after all

• 

  w00t! Team Jolie FTW!

• 

  You're right, Fernandez != Ferrandez, I've updated the show notes and we can probably only be distant cousins

  Cool episode (as usual). When you talked about Caliburn Application Framework, it reminded me of something I read about last week on Greg's Cool [Insert Clever Name] of the Day: Sculpture. It's a “.NET open source Model-Driven Development code generation framework ideal for creating and managing .NET Enterprise Applications.”

  Basically, it's like this: you model your application components (models, services, …), pick your favorite technology for data access (NHibernate, LINQ to SQL, CLSA, …), service layer (library, ASMX, WCF) and UI (WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, ASP.NET WebForms, ASP.NET MVC) and Sculpture will automatically generate the projects and code in Visual Studio for you. It looks very flexible, allowing you to customize everything and add your own code.
