The Design-Time Developer

Check out Wednesday's webcast and learn about eCommerce with the ASP.NET 1.1 Commerce Starter Kit

We're nearing the halfway point for my week-long series.  During Tuesday's session on the ASP.NET Reports Starter Kit, I got some great feedback about the session and, to help answer an audience member's question, even about which language developers in the event were developing with (about 49% C#, 47% VB .NET, 4% other).  The next session I have coming up is on Wednesday, in which we'll be exploring the Commerce Starter Kit, so join me at 9:00 AM Pacific - you can register here.  If you can't make it, be sure to check it out on-demand 24 hours later by following the same link.

After the session, check out these resources to download the starter kit and get started learning or increasing your skills in ASP.NET:

  • Download the ASP.NET 1.1 Commerce Starter Kit (and the other starter kits as well) 
  • Play around with the Commerce Starter Kit online - no download required 
  • Pre-register for the other ASP.NET webcasts we are presenting in July

I'm eager to know what you think about the sessions I am presenting - feel free to speak your mind on my blog.

Post-event follow-up (gosh, 2 hyphens in as many hyphenated phrases, it's a red letter day!)

There was a lot of interest in credit card/payment processing functionality and how to extend the Commerce Starter Kit in such a fashion.  Thank you to everyone who provided feedback and suggestions.  In addition to many banks that provide such services directly, there are 2 credit card processors that I found with .NET tools/resources: Authorize.Net and .net ECOMMERCE.  Do you have any other suggestions for the budding eCommerce developer?

I downloaded your webcast and listened to it today. I have just embarked on a ASP.NET project. Our organization is heavily sold on SOA and hence the application has to be designed with an SOA emphasis. One of the things I find with an SOA model is that the presentation layer makes calls to the Services layer without any direct bearing on the Business Components. I am trying to find a good reference app that uses this model as the underlying architecture but cant seem to find one. P&P had an app - Global Bank but I find it to be more of an integration app than an ASP.NET app. Any thoughts?

Kris,

I have not interpreted SOA models as absolutely requiring presentation layer to call directly to Services layer. The majority of examples I have seen incorporating web services leverage them as a means to easily share data between homogeneous systems or applications. A good example is the new Native Web Service support in SQL Server 2005.

Out of curiosity, where did you read that SOA models have communication directly between Presentation and Services layers? Is it not perhaps the case that the Services layer functions as the Business Logic layer in that model?
