It’s Time for This: ActiveRecordEngine for ASP.NET MVC
Saturday, November 14, 2009 -
I had dreams of this when I joined Microsoft a few years back – that SubSonic would be the database juice in the ASP.NET MVC story. Or if not the juice then the ActiveCherryOnTop.
The pieces didn’t quite fall into place, though I tried many a time. The issues that I faced were pretty simple – everything I tried didn’t quite fit. No one wants to take a dependency on a specific data access library (which is precisely the thing that Rails does most of the time – and it’s quite freeing to not think about it) – so working SubSonic into MVC didn’t quite fire on all cylinders.
It’s understandable – but I have a better idea now and I want to see if others are willing to engage with me on it. “Others” being the troupe of ORM-dudes out there: NHibernate, LLBL, and the for-pay guys…
SubSonic Support
Tuesday, September 08, 2009 - I got to talking to Ayende today about his support model for NHibernate that he’s working on and it made me think a bit – I have users in much the same circumstance: One of the oft repeated objections to using NHibernate is that there isn’t someone that you can officially complain to. Some organizations put great store in having someone to officially complain to :-) I’ve heard that a lot with SubSonic.
SubSonic 3.0.0.3 Is Released
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - Look at it this way – it’s been almost a week since my last one :). Nailed more bugs and I’m hoping that the reports will slow down as we stabalize.
More On SubSonic’s Simple Repository
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - A lot of people have been asking me about the SimpleRepository and “which approach should I use”. Decision Paralysis – having too many choices is not a good thing some times :).
SubSonic 3.0.0.2 Is Released
Thursday, July 09, 2009 - Yes, I know how it looks, but I also know that most of the bug reports stem from the same bugs, so the sooner I get that out of the way, the closer we are to stability. I can’t thank the contributors enough for their help, and also the people who stick it out with me on the Issues list at Github.
SubSonic: Working With Git
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - Many, many people have asked why I moved our Source Repository to Git/Github and it’s hard to explain other than to say that for Open Source – Git is a very nice option because it very much enhances the “collaborative” experience in that merging code from others is not only simple – it’s foundational. The only way that seems to capture the main elements of Git is that it’s peer-to-peer source control with a heavy dose of Social Networking.
SubSonic 3.0.0.1 Released
Tuesday, July 07, 2009 - Early and often! Might as well get started on the right foot yah?

SubSonic 3.0: ActiveRecord

SubSonic 3.0: The SimpleRepository
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - I have a little downtime right now (which I’ll write about in a later post – and yes I still have my job) so I’m using it to put the wraps on SubSonic 3.0 (soon, soon).
SubSonic 2.2 Released
Friday, April 10, 2009 - I’ve been up way too late over the last week – but it’s been really fun :). I tore into the Issues list (both on Google and on our old Codeplex site) and loaded up about 13 total patches which, I think, solved a TON of problems.
SubSonic to Acquire NHibernate
Wednesday, April 01, 2009 - Hanalei, HI – April 1, 2009: SubSonic (http://subsonicproject.com), a data access tool and “Super High-fidelity Batman Toolbelt” (according to its owner, Rob Conery), is set to acquire NHibernate, a much larger data access technology built on the .
Putting the “M” Back in MVC
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 - Trying to keep up my end of the bargain with respect to MVC and SubSonic :). I did a walkthrough of it and decided that I was talking too much and, in honor of everyone telling me "SubSonic is dead" I thought it fitting to toss in some Rob Zombie.
Thoughts on SubSonic Management
Saturday, March 28, 2009 - I’m finally getting around to organizing SubSonic a bit and, aside from flaming me for the obvious (docs suck, project’s dead, etc) – I’d really like your help on a few things. Forums Our forums are doing decently well but managing the server/software/upgrade sucks.

SubSonic 3.0 Preview 1: Linq Has Landed
Friday, November 07, 2008 - I've been working a lot over the last few months on our next rev of SubSonic, and I think I have something that's good enough to issue as a preview. Please understand that this is a preview in every sense of the word, and may shatter into a zillion pieces and make you want to pour your Red Bull over my head.
SubSonic MVC Addin Updated for Beta 1
Monday, October 27, 2008 - I posted a couple of weeks back that I created a prototype Addin for Visual Studio that would scaffold your MVC site for you using Linq To Sql as the data access bits. If you didn't get a chance to watch the screencast - have a look.
