Plethora of .Net languages and Paradigms

If you always wanted a concise overview of  .Net languages, you should check out the article - "A Survey of .NET Languages And Paradigms" (written by Joel Pobar), which appeared in the May 2008 issue of MSDN magazine.

Layered Architecture Sample for .NET

I am a fan of the Paladin project (by Firedancer).
She has even demoed it to the local SG community when she visited SGDOTNET a few years back.

After Paladin, another project that she was working on was a demo for an expense approval application. The application leverages on the new features  in.Net 3.0. In the sample, she provided some good ideas on the use of a layered architecture for application development.

Was pleasantly surprised to find in CodePlex her updated code, which uses .Net 3.5. Specifically, she has updated her codes to include the following:

  • Data Layer is converted to use LINQ instead of Enterprise Library DAAB.
  • Business Entities are now LINQ-to-SQL entities.
  • Workflow is converted to use the .NET 3.5 WorkflowServices.
  • A call to all developers - Do check out the cool, and well-designed codebase at
