On January 18, 2006 a filing was made for the formation of "EntitySpaces, LLC", a limited liability company. EntitySpaces, LLC is working hard to put together a commercial offering for the EntitySpacesTM .NET architecture. The first release of the EntitySpaces architecture is set to support Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle. The EntitySpaces .NET architecture will be able to operate as an independent data provider for the popular DotNetNuke® Open Source Framework (operating outside of the current DotNetNuke DAL API).
Mike Griffin is the originating architect of the EntitySpaces .NET architecture and President of EntitySpaces, LLC. Mike is also co-author of the popular MyGeneration Code Generator / OR Mapping tool and the creator of the widely used dOOdads .NET architecture which is currently supported on eight DBMS systems. Joining Mike in forming EntitySpaces, LLC are Scott Schecter and David Parsons. Mike can be reached at mike.griffin@entityspaces.net
Scott Schecter brings a wealth of DotNetNuke experience to EntitySpaces, LLC. Scott is President of Schecter Technology Solutions and also a Programmer/Analyst for the Lycoming County Government in Pennsylvania. Additionally, Scott authored the MyGeneration Template Statistics module for DotNetNuke and is an experienced dOOdads user himself. Scott has designed DotNetNuke modules that use the dOOdads .NET architecture as the DAL for DotNetNuke and has delivered many successful projects using the dOOdads in both his own practice and for the County of Lycoming. Scott is also the author of NukeSyndicate, a rich media casting module for DotNetNuke. Scott can be reached at scott.schecter@entityspaces.net
David Parsons answered the challenge to create aggregate support for the dOOdads .NET architecture which was a great addition to dOOdads. David was also crucial in organizing an NUnit test suite to help test the rich dOOdads API on eight database systems in two native languages, C# and VB.NET. David has just recently created a very powerful plug-in for MyGeneration known as DnpUtils. The DnpUtils plug-in for MyGeneration has very powerful hierarchical API's for detecting relationships and other very useful features. David also maintains a number of MyGeneration Template Archives. David can be reached at david.parsons@entityspaces.net
EntitySpaces, LLC personnel have a diverse background that will be used to deliver the EntitySpaces .NET architecture and related services. EntitySpaces, LLC is made up of folks that know what it takes to not only create, write, and test an architecture but are also consumers themselves. EntitySpaces will continue the stellar support many are familiar with in conjunction with MyGeneration and the dOOdads .NET architecture.
On January 23, 2006 EntitySpaces, LLC officially became a legal entity.
