ALT.Net on MSDN Magazine

There is a short article I wrote called What is ALT.NET on the back page of the March edition of MSDN Magazine.  Nothing you haven't seen before if you're a regular reader here, but it was nice to see something in the mainstream.  I'd say "my latest article" like James did for his piece of ALT.NET goodness, but this is the first official article I've published since 2002 (I've got at least 4 more coming this year).  Comments are open below for anything you do or don't like about the article. 

And no, I don't think I was being unfair about the Entity Framework.  On the ASP.NET MVC framework, I'd say it's still cooking and the jury remains out.  Yeah, the unit testing looks really ugly so far to a casual observer like me, but they've got time to turn it around.

Great article.  Hopefully, it will bring more people into the fold.  I am curious why the links to altnetpedia and the Yahoo! group were not hyperlinks.

The ASP MVC framework code itself is still cooking, but I understand that the relationship with folks in the .NET MVC community is broken, and that the framework itself is at the entry point of a design tailspin.

Will the team run out of altitude before it runs out of willingness to heed the input of folks with much greater practical experience?  If not, ASP MVC will end up as a web framework equivalent of the Entity Framework.

Here's hoping they address the OO design fundamentals issues and make a serous effort to pull out of the spin before inflicting yet another assumption-driven framework on the Microsoft customer community.
