Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
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.
