Subsonic or ActionPack the zero code DAL

Hi all,

something all the lazy programmers out there have been waiting for :

http://www.codeplex.com/actionpack

This is the heaven of dal coding, the only down side is that you need full trust on your web to use its full features (i.e. custom build providers to automatically generate vb or c# classes to access your database structure).

In other words, the people on shared hosting environments, forget it. However if you have a dedicated server, then the world is your oyster and man this tool is great!

No more boring data access code to write, one class per table is generated and allows you to query your data in a very efficient way!

Thanks guys for this... wonder how it's going to compete with LINQ though?

Cheers!

AJAX 1.0 is here and will tranform the web

I am now working closely with Microsoft AJAX extensions v1.0 and I have to say congratulations to them for developing such a cool programming concept.

I am using it everywhere I can and have been able to design things that I have dreamt of years ago without any hassle.

.NET web developers, go there now and watch all the videos, you won't regret it:

Happy programming!
