the tar pit

I’ve just started working with a team on asp.net mvc. I’m now starting to create a list of resources that I am finding useful. You’ll notice that I have been reading around Steve Sanderson’s work because our team is tending to focus around his solutions.

General books

• Steve Sanderson. Pro Asp.Net MVC.
• Nerd Dinner – including free chapter

Sample Code Downloads

• MvcIntegrationTestFramework
• xVal
• CodeCamp from SVN repos only svn export http://codecampserver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

Other libraries that I will fill out as needed:

• moq
• nbehave (for the assert helper syntax)
• storyq – acceptance testing
• selenium/watin – browser testing
• jquery/jsspec – for gui specific testing (see this blog for samples and jqueryplugingen for scaffolding)
• sdc tasks – for deployment
• teamcity/tfs for CI
• migratordotnet – for migrations (I’m also thinking SqlLite for base dev testing)
• Gallio -

Strategies:
* fakes, mother objects and using extensions
