As you can clearly see the design of my blog has changed again, this time it was created by an actual graphical designer Håkon Leinan instead of my own pathetic attempts. But that is not all; the whole blogging engine is replaced with my own implementation using the FubuMVC framework. This is a work in process and I’ll blog about the new additions when they are added.

For us, by us

FubuMVC stands for “For us, by us MVC” and it is a Front Controller-style framework designed primarily for Web applications build upon ASP.NET. It has its origin at Dovetail Software where Jeremy Miller, Chad Myers and Joshua Flanagan were constantly extending / overriding the ASP.Net MVC beta framework until they arrived at a point where it would make more sense to create a new MCV framework, not based on ASP.Net MVC. This resulted in OpinionatedMVC which was later renamed to FubuMVC. I was lucky to run into this OOS project at an early stage and I have taken the opportunity to learn from these guys with open arms.

So you can expect more posts about this new framework where I’ll go more into technical detail and common learning experiences. But before that I have to implement the functionality for adding new blog posts ;)

More information

Jeremy and Chad had a workshop at Kaizenconf where they explained their Opinionated MVC ideas, video 1 and video 2. And there is also a blog post from Jeremy Our "Opinions" on the ASP.NET MVC (Introducing the Thunderdome Principle) where he explains the basic idea behind FubuMVC. And then there is also this recording at Herding Code where Jeremy and Chad go into the actual OSS project FubuMVC. In case you were wondring my name is pronounced Nyhof in English ;)
