Kona 3: Learning Behavior Driven Development (BDD)

Thursday, May 14, 2009 - Holy cow! Another *DD – man I really must have an IV with that Alt.

Kona: Continuous Integration and Better Unit Testing

Tuesday, April 07, 2009 - This screencast went from a simple idea - talking to Brad Wilson about better Unit Testing - to some pretty broad topics such as source control, unit testing, and continuous integration. I seriously could have written a whole book based on the stuff flying through my mind.

Kona Screencast 1: It’s Baaaaack!

Friday, March 27, 2009 - This may be a really dumb thing I've just done - but bear with me because I think it makes sense. I knew this point was going to come when I first started the MVC Storefront - the point where I'm no longer building "an MVC sample app" and I change directions to build a flexible, pluggable Open Source community application.

MVC Storefront: Why No Source!1!1!

Monday, February 16, 2009 - This is my fault. Boom - there it is.

MVC Storefront Part 26: Finis

Saturday, January 24, 2009 - This is the last episode in the MVC Storefront series and this might seem a bit odd. It's definitely not the last screencast I'll do with respect to ASP.

MVC Storefront Part 25: Getting Started With Domain-Driven Design

Friday, December 05, 2008 - I don't like the complexity that's crept into my application. Not sure how else to put it - but the architecture needs to be shaken a bit so in this episode I tackle this complexity head on using DDD.

MVC Storefront: Episode 25 Preview

Monday, November 24, 2008 - I felt pretty good about where things were a few weeks ago, but as I started tightening things up and showing the app to others (doing walkthroughs and code talks), I began to feel. well a bit "meh" about it.

MVC Storefront Preview 1 Available

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - There is a lot of work left to be done but I thought it would be a good idea to package up a Preview so that people can play with the site and the code. Episode 24 Has Been CutI've been working on Episode 24 for the last few days, which deals with how to implement coupons and incentives.

ASP.NET MVC Storefront Part 23: WebForms and Dynamic Data

Friday, October 24, 2008 - A few months back I got to talking to J Sawyer who is a Developer Evangelist in the Texas area about the work I've been doing with the MVC Storefront. Before I worked at Microsoft, J was my "main man" with the Commerce Starter Kit - the very first Open Source project I ever worked on.

MVC Storefront Part 22: Restructuring, Rerouting, and PayPal

Saturday, October 11, 2008 - In this episode I restructure a bit in order to clean things up some. I also tweak the site to redo the routing - something I think that went a little awry on me :).

MVC Storefront Part 21: Order Manager and Personalization

Wednesday, September 17, 2008 - Wow this one took me a while. As anyone knows the last few miles of any type of journey are the longest and usually most difficult.

MVC Storefront Part 20: Logging

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 - In this episode I plug in logging - something that probably should have been implemented sooner. Not much else to add - it's a pretty simple screencast but I felt it was important enough to have it be it's own deal.

MVC Storefront Part 19a: Windows Workflow Followup

Friday, August 22, 2008 - I've spent the last few days adding in some functionality that I think would better display what it is I want to do with WWF and the Storefront.Not much more to say - this is a 10 minute followup wherein I add some more services and buff out the Order submission process, and wrap it all with unit tests (that Ayende will hopefully like).

MVC Storefront Part 19: Processing Orders With Windows Workflow

Friday, August 15, 2008 - Before you freak out - please know that this is a spike. I want to see how well Workflow "fits" and how easy it is for "Joe Developer" to pick it up and use/extend it.

MVC Storefront Part 18: Creating An Experience

Friday, August 08, 2008 - There's been a pretty big gap in the productions here, and it's mostly because I couldn't figure out what exactly to show. I also need to finish this thing - it's taking longer than I'd like!

MVC Storefront Part 17: Checkout With Jeff Atwood

Thursday, July 17, 2008 - In this episode I ready up the checkout process and talk with Mr. CodingHorror himself, Jeff Atwood.

MVC Storefront Part 16: Membership Redo With OpenID

Thursday, July 03, 2008 - I take a sledge-hammer (this is Ayende's fault) to my current Membership system and split it out into three separate services/parts. I then sit with Jon Galloway and talk about OpenID - and then I implement it.

MVC Storefront, Part 15: Code Review With Ayende

Saturday, June 28, 2008 - Normally I would have gone through this many times already, however I have the good fortune of all your comments :). Even so, it's always a good idea to take a timeout and make sure you're not going off the deep end.

MVC Storefront: What's Next With Episode 15

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - The application is growing and I'm piling in the little changes here and there that turn a prototype into a living, breathing application. I've recorded all of it - but now it's time to take a good long look at what I've done so far and see if it has legs.

MVC Storefront Part 14: Ajax With Shawn Burke

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - MVC doesn't have a PostBack model and has lost a lot of the drag/drop ASP.NET Ajax functionality that was provided with .
