Summary

Mark Pollack provides an introduction to Spring.NET which can help developers more easily implement and design loosely coupled application architectures. The core concepts in the Spring Framework extend beyond the Java platform and are applicable to .NET. Spring.NET combines the Spring Framework's proven architectural concepts and patterns with additional features specific to .NET.

Bio

Dr. Mark Pollack has worked extensively in the financial sector as an architect and developer involved in a mixture of Microsoft and Java technologies. Mark became a developer on the Spring Java Framework in 2003 and founded its .NET based counterpart, Spring.NET, in 2004. Mark became recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for his involvement in the technical community.

    I would like to understand everything said in the presentation. I know how to write English, but I am not a native speaker, and I am learning English these days and a transcription as you used to make would be a hit (ok, it on screen it cannot be present the offer a link or better, Closed Caption for the service).

    You name it.

  • I love it.

    I have used Spring.NET and tried to compare it to a typical 'anemic domain' architecture you might build in ASP.NET. I love it. I especially like using the Spring.Web (MVC) tools over the ASP.NET controls. Much easier to use.

    I wish this was the industry standard.

    Microsoft are moving to LINQ as their ORM, and I think you are seeing or will see Spring.NET copies also coming from Microsoft. (Of course you will eventually see a Grails copy too ;-)

    Thanks to Mark !!

  • Very interesting

    Very interesting presentation.
    There are many aspects that became clear to me.
    I think another presentation is necessary which compares Spring.NET to other similiar frameworks. I think that kind of presentation will clarify the decision of choosing appealing AF.

  • bad online presentation

    by Mitch Etter,

    I would have loved to see the whole presentation all the way through, but the example code was difficult to read in the video and the camera shaking made me ill. The presentation is not for online viewing.

  • Does anything original come from the .Net folks?

    by John Jimenez,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    I only see or read about technologies ported over from other worlds to .NET, particularly from the Java/JEE world. Are there any original ideas in the .NET space? It seems like these folks are content w/ just standing on the shoulders of giants. Maybe I'm wrong. Is there anything that these folks have contributed to the development ecosystem?

    I don't think there is a framework that can compare with full stack of spring.net. But as to IoC container, there are better ones: NInject, Castle Winsor, Structuremap, Autofac, etc. Spring.net's way is too java and not too much of C#'s new language features are used. This can be considered a advantage and dis-advantage, based on where you stand. But the wide area of technology integration is still unique in Spring.net.
