King Wilder posted Part Two of his ASP.NET MVC series and it's a very good read. Well done King. There are some very good comments at the end of his post as well.



King Wilder, is an ASP.NET developer who runs and owns a small web hosting company called Gizmo Beach. The article is about an ASP.NET MVC application that King ported to use EntitySpaces as the data access layer, or model. Here's a brief snippet from the article.





In Part 1 of this short series, I discussed how to build a simple ASP.NET MVC application using EntitySpaces.  If you have any Object Oriented background you will have noticed that that application was what is called, "tightly coupled".  That means that one set of objects depends on another.  This is generally a bad idea as it makes your application less flexible and extendable.

In this article, I will discuss what changes are necessary to make the application "loosely coupled", which in turn will make it easier to extend.

We thought we would bring this blog post written by King Wilder to your attention. King Wilder, is an ASP.NET developer who runs and owns a small web hosting company called Gizmo Beach. The article is about an ASP.NET MVC application that King ported to use EntitySpaces as the data access layer, or model. Here's a brief snippet from the article.


ENTITY SPACES

Ok a brief word about Entity Spaces.  It is a really cool ORM tool but much more than that.  It reads your database and builds entity classes.  Now you might say that there are many tools that do that like NHibernate, SubSonic, etc., and you would be correct.  EntitySpaces actually costs money where SubSonic is free.  But I was using SubSonic before I trialed Entity Spaces.  After about a half a day playing with it, I purchased it and I'm going on my second year (2008) using it and I couldn't be happier.  Go to their web site to find out more.  But this article isn't about EntitySpaces, it's about building an ASP.NET MVC application without using Linq.
