If you're looking for help with C#, .NET, Azure, Architecture, or would simply value an independent opinion then please get in touch here or over on Twitter.
As per my previous post I’m spending some time on my application framework – I’m aware of this getting used, by myself and others, in a variety of projects and some of the flaws in the code as it stands now are starting to hurt. Since I first put it together the Azure libraries have also come on a long way and this has led to some friction.
That being the case I’m taking this oppurtunity to revisit the framework with a number of objectives:
- Reduce the number of dependencies. Even the core assembly had accumulated around 10 NuGet dependencies including Azure storage, Entity Framework, Unity, AWS and SendGrid.
- Removal of the Enterprise Library Transient Fault framework.
- Support for dependency injectors other than Unity.
- Switch to NewtonSoft Json for serialization.
- Documentation and samples.
- Move to the “new” way of restoring packages.
This does mean a bunch of breaking changes but I think they’re worth making to achieve the above.
I’ve got a compiling first stab at v1.0.0 in GitHub. I’ll be testing this in an upcoming project and dropping the packages into the NuGet prerelease channel.
