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

1 min read

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.
