Hi Shamil Oops, I missed your previous reference to Orchard, sorry. It was because I saw a review of the admin features I finally paid notice. /gustav >>> shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru 20-01-2011 18:47 >>> Hi Gustav & Jim, I have mentioned Orachard here in this thread already on 17 of Jan 2011: <<<<<< I have just recently found what could become a real DNN rival in long run: Orchard CMS http://orchardproject.net/ as it comes from MS guys, and it doesn't have all that "legacy burden" DNN has got historically as its development started from ASP.NET 1.1 AFAIK... >>>>>> I'd bet it could become "DNN killer" in long run or at least it will "eat" a large part of DNN market. Still I'd use DNN these days (just my opinion/intention) and I'd wait a couple of years or so to see what Orachard will become by that time... MVC is actually an "ASP.NET killer" kind of applications IMO - I mean MVC is "riding on ASP.NET engine" but doesn't use ASP.NET native features that much as usual ASP.NET apps do... I have been developing ASP.NET applications using Model View Controller (MVC) software design pattern and Test Driven Design approach from the very beginning of my development in ASP.NET. I personally doubts that MVC is a correct way to go currently as it imposes rather rigid structure on ASP.NET projects (did that change in ASP.NET MVC 3.0?). I can be wrong. Just my opinion. I'm not defending "ASP.NET native features and architecture" - they result in slow (several seconds) start-up of even relatively small apps, which use Web Forms etc. - and ASP.NET MVC is a different story, better one, much quicker start-up, but as I noted I do not like that ASP.NET MVC imposes a rigid structure on ASP.NET apps - when that will be changed I'd definitely switch to ASP.NET MVC - is that changed in ASP.NET MVC 3.0 already? Thank you. -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: 20 ?????? 2011 ?. 18:57 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Orchard (was: Joomla) Hi Jim Well, it seems to fly a bit lower using one motor only, but that may be just fine for those simple projects you also meet. Perhaps even a normal user will be able to maintain such a site? /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 20-01-2011 16:36 >>> Thanks for the poste Gustav. This looks very interesting.
