SA Developer .NET

RottenAppleMan:

I don't know about you guys but something like this lends itself to object oriented development. It's no big deal if  some of us are not comfortable with that.  We can always mix and match.

 So...

ME

1.  handle the CSS and the style guide (if it's ok with you guys),
   
2. set up some sort of login system that takes the user to their home page/control panel
   I hear Kittens concerns about building that last to make development easier....but a well built cookie solution should take care of that.

1. Tests/surveys
2. SQL reporting services

1. Can check out what we're doing and give advice.

 

I suppose I need to get this started before we can really move forward.   I'll do my best to get something up during the week.

That's fine by me if you do the stylesheet/CSS. I am not good with that kind of thing. Is it OK if I use .NET 3.5 and LINQ-to-SQL? My company is slowly moving towards it and it would be cool if I have some experience already.

Cheers,

I've knocked up a basic design of what this might look like.

Not that fancy right now...but it will help consolidate our thoughts.

That suits me just fine because I'm also using 3.5 (VS2008) and I need to get some LINQ experience too.

Thanks. Just to let you know, I'll be using VS2008 Express, as I don't have the full version yet.

Also, thanks for the image, when you have the stylesheet all ready, let me know where I can download it s I can incorporate it into my dev site.

Thanks,

The only snag at the moment is the website I have available does not have MSSql on it.

Why not use SQL 2005 Express? No issues with licencing, etc. Anyway, it's just development at the moment.

Yip ... I'll see if I'm allowed to do that. 

Don't own that particular server but I'm sure I can make a plan.

Like you say, just development at the moment...so we can just share the files and run them on our local machine for now.

Just something I could suggest that might work for this. Have you used FolderShare? It's still beta but I use it to sync my development folders between work and home... it works most of the time, crashes now and then and you have to close, restart and resetup the folders on your local machine, but it does function... Oh, and occasionally when I come back to work after a weekend I have to restart my machine...

Hi Heat_Rash

 Sounds interesting.  So would everyone involved set this up on their machines and, I presume, it uses http to check if changes have been made.

Or what ?
Are there security issues?

How it works is:

1. One person has to first install the application on their machine and create a "shared library". This would basically be a folder on your machine (you've already created).

2. You then add email addresses on people you are sharing the library with, and their access level: Reader, Contributor, Editor, Senior Editor

CraigN:

So whats the project planning on using for source control? CodePlex, SourceForge or Google Code?

hmm .. good point.   This is the first time I've done a dispersed development so I'm an absolute newb on this point.

My understanding is that visual source safe is not really that great for this kind of development.

 What would you recommend?

What about Sourcegear Vault? Can't it be used over the web?

Just remember, we cannot run reports from SSRS on Express. I have a full version of 2005 on my work machine/laptop. When I get there, I'll start working on 2005 full edition.

have not used it before.   

It would require everyone to buy it.
