Charlotte's is home built it seems. I have not really read anything from Shamil re a .net framework but it would not surprise me if he were using such a thing. I watched a 15 minute overview video of codesmith and ntiers and all I can say is WOW. OTOH it seems that it would be WOW if you were an experienced .NET developer. My first impression is that it would simply be overwhelming to me. Sadly there are no books you can buy to help you get started with Codesmith. John W.

Probably home built. Any recommendations for a third party tool? /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 11-12-2007 16:02 >>> It is indeed a mess, but in fact less so than most of the open source things. And the guy has credentials (listen to me 8-(, and his first book gets a 4.5 star rating from ~50 reviewers on Amazon.com. I desperately need an introduction to business objects so I'll give it a try. John W.

This is, sadly, the case for most open-source sites - lots of info on marginal latest revisions and nerded comments, but only an obtuse - or completely lacking - overview for the first-time visitor. Often not even system/software requirements are listed. These people could really gain by learning some marketing: What is this, what is the purpose, who is it aimed for, what skill is required, what software is required, etc. It's a mess and a waste. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 11-12-2007 15:28 >>> Richard, Thanks for the link. I have to say it is annoying when an author does things in reverse order. I go to the site. Plastered all over is CSLA. So what is CSLA? There is a link, plainly labeled "what is CSLA". So I go to that link. There is an entire page starting with CSLA is a .... At the VERY BOTTOM is the paragraph that DEFINES the acronym CSLA. Sigh. But in the end I ordered the book, as well as an older book by the same author apparently no longer in print. Let's hope he can help me! ;-) John W.

His framework is excellent. There is too much to mention, a steep learning curve but worth it.
