DP Advisory Council

  • 發行項

As we wrap up VS 2008/.Net 3.5 SP1 and begin planning in earnest for the next release, we’ve been brainstorming various ways to improve our understanding of the problem space and to create feedback channels for our plans. I appreciate the feedback that many of you have already given about the Entity Framework, LINQ to SQL, ADO.Net Data Services and other aspects of the Data Programmability team’s efforts. One recurring theme in that feedback has been around domain driven design, so among our other criteria we’ve put together an advisory council which includes some members with notable credentials in that area.

 

I’m excited to announce that the council, which will have its first meeting in July, will include:

 

Eric Evans - <www.domainlanguage.com/about/ericevans.html>

Stephen Forte - <www.stephenforte.net/>

Martin Fowler - <martinfowler.com/>

Pavel Hruby - <www.phruby.com/>

Jimmy Nilsson - <jimmynilsson.com/>

 

…as well as additional folks from various teams in Microsoft.

 

While I’m optimistic that these folks will provide great feedback, I also want to encourage all of you to continue sharing your thoughts. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

 

- Danny

    Wow, be very interesting to hear how it goes because I think most of us are heavily influenced by the work of Evans/Fowler and so on. Great stuff.

    Over the past year or two, I&#39;ve been a casual observer into the Entity Framework coming out of Microsoft

    Just a quick note to make sure people are aware of a couple interesting events from the last day or two.

    I’ve been doing my best to do other things lately and completely missed this terrific news. Opening up

    For reasons which are hard for outsiders to see, persistence has clearly been a ten-year exercise in cat-herding for Microsoft. At this point the hour is quite late - Microsoft needs to pick a clear direction, commit, and get on with it in what remains of 2008. To be blunt, going out to 2010 with more equivocating and mixed messages isn't going to be in anyone's best interest, especially Microsoft's.

    So what are the mixed messages and equivocating that you are responding to?  I'm not disagreeing, just asking for more data.

    Over a ten year span or just the past year?

    Sorry to be flippant. Developers and architects I know have wanted persistence off the radar for years. At a time when folks are trying to grapple with the architecture futures for moving forward with SOA, SaaS, WS-*, cloud services, etc. we find we are still mired in the inanity of the guts of persistence (not that it, in of itself, isn't interesting). If MS and developers can't collectively move this off our plates fairly quickly than I have some serious concerns about our ability to confront some of the more daunting challenges ahead that are being confronted with WxF, Oslo, S+S, and cloud-based services. Most of us 'common folk' don't want to have to follow Jenning's and others' blogs in order to keep up with the debate, dueling APIs, and various technical excursions in persistance - we just want it summarily dealt with once and for all in some fashion or another whether it is an actual MS solution or an open set of interfaces anyone can plug into. I know this is a difficult affair or this advisory council wouldn't exist. But, it has been a difficult affair for way too long. Projects have been and are cranking up every day of this years-long debate and the people on those projects simply want clear guidance and direction on persistence - something which is still not on the immediate horizon and needs to be as soon as humanly possible so we can move on to other priorities.

    Unless you don't read blogs on a regular basis you have probably already seen the No Confidence debate about the Entity Framework that shipped with Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Just in case you missed it here are some links about the topic: OakLeaf Systems

    I fully agree with Tim Mallalieu to recommend LINQ to Entities as the data access solution for your application

    I think a lot of folks built up some hopes and expectations around the fact this dialogue was going to take place. And I for one (maybe niavely) would like to think those weren't in vain. But by the same token, I think all of us expected as much transparency as possible around this conversation. The fact that it has gone dark or at least opague after a single meeting - and one where we still don't know what transpired - is not inspiring. How about a heads up on the general status of the DPAC and some specifics around the conversation - they would be much appreciated. Or, if it's dead on the other hand, please tell us that...
