Using Templify to create a new S#arp Architecture solution
Last week Howard van Rooijen blogged about Templify. I am happy to announce that Templify is now the offical way to create a S#arp Architecture solution. Templify comes packaged with a S#arp Architecture package, so there is nothing you need to do, other than install Templify, to get it going. I'll leave the details on how to install and use Templify for Howard's post. This article assumes you have Templify installed already.

S#arp Architecture - Taking the hassle out of starting new projects
In March 2006 Billy McCafferty wrote an article on CodeProject about NHibernate best practices using ASP.NET. He took the time to discuss the advantages of using an O/RM with ASP.NET as well as information on Dependency Injection / Inversion of Control with Windsor. After a period of time, Billy created a new project on Codeplex (later moved to Google Code) that expanded upon those ideas and principals. This new project is named S#arp Architecture.

Meet my new friend...Balsamiq
Most people that know me understand the fact that I read a lot of blogs. Well earlier in the week, Oren (Ayende) posted about a tool he had found for making mock-ups. Well this is something I currently do frequently as I need to display mock-ups of new areas or changes to existing, so the post piqued my interest. After putting it off checking it out for a few days, I finally came to a new task that required mock-ups.
