My Online Portfolio

Sunday, April 4, 2010Miscellaneous

I’ve been spending a nice portion of my free time lately working on my online representation. My good friend, Zach Badgett, threw together the actual page design so props to him on that! I have used this project to help me gain a deeper understanding of ASP.NET MVC and how it is able to make a web developer’s life absolutely wonderful.

Anyhow, I’ve just gotten the site to a point where I feel comfortable showing it off a bit. You can check out the work-in-progress at Tyler Sommer dotcom.

Many things still need to happen before I can call this baby finished. I’ve got a bit more infrastructure to lay out and also some usability improvements using Ajax, and, more ..namedly (not a word) jQuery.

A brief overview of technologies n such:

  • C# .NET 3.5 utilizing much of the latest .NET including LINQ, mostly LINQ to SQL.
  • Castle Windsor Inversion-of-Control allows simple abstraction between data layers
  • NUnit and Moq for great unit testing coverage
  • IIS7 and the Integrated Pipeline — Never has set up been so easy!!

I will keep up the work and hope to have it complete and ready to go very soon! Let me know what you think about it.
