We have created a very simple video that demonstrates how to build your first EntitySpaces 2009 application. This presentation really demonstrates how easy it is to create your application using EntitySpaces 2009 which is fully integrated into Visual Studio. This is the first in a series of videos that will demonstrate the power of EntitySpaces 2009.

Ooops, sorry for the typo;s

1) Ban IP's that come from the ".cz" zone
2) Ban email id's that start or have numbers in them such as 123foo@hotmail.com or foo123@hotmail.com
3) Do something like SpamArrest does, when a user submits a story email him/her a link, when they click on the link then Post the story.

Not a bad article from a business point, but I wonder if the author thinks we should also eliminate spaces between words too? ;=)

Oh, one more thing, after we break every camp site we form a line, and walk it, picking up any piece of trash no matter how small, usually, we end up mostly cleaning up after others because the scouts all live the "leave no trace" creed, rock on Scouts !!

My two sons are in Scouts, it's a totally awesome program, camping in freezing weather, building shelters out of natural stuff in the woods, survival, shooting skills, love of country, respect, I could go on, it's terrific.

This is the way we do it at EntitySpaces

We generate a set of classes from your DB schema, we call them the generated classes
We then generate (one time only) a set of custom classes that inherit from the generated classes

public class Custom : Generated
{

}

and you can override almost everything in the Generated classes, including the properties

You custom class is originally empty but you can add business logic, the nice thing about this is your Custom class has only your code in it, none of our underlying infrastructure. Also, our system is provider independent so you never use SqlClient or OracleClient you can switch providers without even recompiling by just changing your connection string in the config. It makes for a very rapid development approach and almost zero maintenance impact by changing your schema. Just regenerate and you're off.

The generated class is a BusinessObject/DataObject combo, we never use the term DAL, DAL died 8 years ago or so for me, even in previous architectures.

Employee emp = new Employee();
emp.FirstName = "Joe";
emp.LastName = "Smith";
emp.Save();

That's it, of course, we have a killer dynamic query API so you can fetch things on the fly. But in the above code you can overload Save, and the two property accessors if you need to. There's so much more too, you can use dynamic SQL or stored procs with merely in indication in the config file.

Overall, it's meant to allow you knock out projects quickly, and it's extremely fast, no layers, no facades, no dals, no xml, no reflection, just get er done.

Isn't Subsonic a Microsoft product?

The real question is, how do they know what we post? Chew on that a while .... well, they do have that unique id thing built into it ...

Hmmm, guess we should really start to read those "I agree" thingies ....

Andrew, I was referring to our forums ;) on which I recommended LLBLGen yesterday to a guy who had to have LINQ on Oracle. We want to make money, but as a developer myself I find the need to help people trumps sales. This is why our support is so timely, when someone needs help they need it now. Thanks cowGar on the Mono compliment, on ES2009 system including the code generator we hope to make run under Mono as well. We think Mono is going places.

This is Mike from EntitySpaces, we do not boot off for folks for talking about the competition, just an FYI ....

Lambda can make code extremely hard to read as well, to me, the solution should look like the problem

Does our industry really even have breaking news?

How about we ask Microsoft to stop screwing around and make the product available to us? Give me a break.
