NBusiness v2.0 RC1
So it's here at last! This is the not quite officially released version of NBusiness 2.0. Here is the link:
http://www.codeplex.com/NBusiness/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1062
For those of you who have tried out my Alpha/Beta versions of 2.0 in the past I'll say that this is a much easier install to get working. This is the real-deal, no experimental mode BS to have to deal with. Full integration baby!
I should say that you should expect some bugs for now but it should be "mostly" working. Meaning, simply firing up a new project should just build right out of the box.
Most core features should be working just as you'd expect but I haven't tested out the VB side of things thoroughly enough yet so don't expect much from there. If you test it out and find some bugs please enter an issue in the issue list! I'd really appreciate it.
After doing some thinking about the time spent getting to this point I realized that I haven’t been recording hours at all and it doesn’t seem like TFS keeps track of checkout times so there probably is no way to know for sure but I’d estimate that it has taken me an average of 10h/week (not including the time spent working on the XNA game I made recently too!) for 10 months which is about:
10 * 4 * 10 = 400 hrs (or 16.7 days)
If I was billing at $90/h that would be $32,400!
Of which I’ve made approximately $0 total. I’m hoping there will be some intangible benefits down the road but the main reasons why I did it were A.) to satisfy my thoughts on how to make a code generator and B.) I wanted to make a website and resented writing the data access layer by hand. So basically it’s taken me almost a year to write some code that would have taken me just a couple days if I wasn’t so damn crazy. Talk about taking the long route to solve a problem!
After squaring up the VB side of things I need to make sure the Getting Started doc is better and I have to update the wiki pages so they're in line with the current version. This is pretty exciting! Be sure to tell your friends!
