New York ALT.NET March Meetup: Castle MonoRail, the *other* MVC Framework
This location is shown only to members
Topic: Castle MonoRail, the *other* MVC Framework
MonoRail, a component of the Castle Project, is an open source web application framework built on top of the ASP.NET platform. Inspired by Ruby on Rails Action Pack, MonoRail differs from standard ASP.NET WebForms development by enforcing separation of concerns using a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture: controllers just handle application flow, models represent the data, and the view is just concerned about presentation logic. Consequently, you write less code and end up with a more maintainable application.
This meeting's discussion will be lead by long-time group member James M. Curran, whose bio is as follows:
- Itinerant Computer Programmer.
- 20+ years as a developer : Assembly, C, C++ and C# (in that order) with sidelines in ASP/VBScript, ASP.Net, JavaScript, Perl, QuickBasic, VisualBasic, plus a few others which I'm not going to mention because if I did someone might ask me to use them again (shutter)
- Microsoft MVP in VC++ (1994-2004)
This meeting will be held at the Microsoft offices as usual. Check the Meetup site for details!

To the gentleman sitting in the first seat by the door (and the rest of the group) I did some research and YES you can run HQL queries within your model.
Please remember that Active Record is an abstraction layer above nHibernate so you will get the same functionality.
See the following link for more information. http://www.castleproject.org/activerecord/documentation/v...

Awesome, thanks! It was a very informative presentation. It's a very interesting piece of technology for prototyping.

James CurranI thought the speakers were *wonderful*-- particularly the first one (though I may be a wee bit bias as I was the first speaker.....)

Jose BerriosI liked the last presenter best who clearly had command of the active record topic. I found the meetup instructive. I had my netbook with me whcih helped me look up terms I wasn't familiar with.

Mark TorroneThe MVC portion was a good eye opener to Monorail and the Active Record portion was an unexpected bonus !

Thanks all for allowing me to present my humble knowledge of Castle's Active Record implementation. I enjoyed speaking to the crowd and also the feedback from all who attended. For future reference I am on the technology conference circuit and distribute video presentations on my website to people who cannot afford to go to these conferences time-wise and financially.
