Movinator Progress...

Well, the database stuff is completely done.  I've been testing it the last couple days, and I'm very welll pleased with how it's working.  Everything is componentized so it's easily replaceable...I've stayed away from my common habit of putting main code in the WinForm's .cs file...I've made a specific class to deal with all the database functions so that it could be used in other apps as well...

I read in someone elses blog the other day that a beginer coder tends to just spew out code without a lot of forthought...and a "developer" tends to think more than they code...well, I've put a lot of thought into the design of this app...as silly as the app is...and I think it's a fairly robust design.  I'm sure there's things I coudl have done better, and I'm sure that I'll stumble across those things as time goes by.

So now what's left is to design the UI for using this data and creating the logic for selecting your next movie.  For starters I'm going to make what I call "actor logic" which will pick a new movie to watch based on whatever actors where in the movie you watched previously.  Then I'll add in total random logic, or randomGenre logic or whatever else comes to mind.

I would love if someone took a look at the code I've wrote so far and give it a code review.  :)  If anyeone's interested, check it out here.
