I’m starting work on a new project on Monday and I’ve got full control of all development aspects. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking of how I can get to beta status as quickly as possible – finish main development and get to the stage where the client is reviewing minor details. This is dependant on a combination of my skillset and the tools I’m going to use. I’ve got:
Are there any additions to this that you use to accelerate the development process?
maybe the Migrator.Net (http://code.google.com/p/migratordotnet/) for DB schema evolution control?
btw are you going to use trunk version of MR or the RC3? maybe it would be efficient to use the IController-enabled version from the start to be MS MVC compatible..
I must admit I like your dev stack – ExtJS + AR + MR is a great combination. the only feature I miss here is some richer support for client side validation when using ExtJS grid for editing etc. Or do you have any suggestions on this?
Filip KinskyI’ll probably still use RC3, at least I can standardise on that release. If there was a newer release I’d definitely use that.
If by client side validation you mean form validation then ExtJS has very strong support for this in the Ext.forms namespace.
Colin RamsayI know that ExtJS has support for validation of input fields and use it frequently, but I mean some connection between business objects validation and client side ExtJS validation like MR has for ActiveRecordValidation-based BO…
Filip KinskyAh I see what you mean, sorry. That’s an interesting point, and something I think I could use in this upcoming project. I’ll have a think.
