In my experience something like 75% of all 'issues' that come up in software development end up in some way being related to the database. However this remains the hardest thing to test throughly, and next to impossible to successfully monitor as far integrity goes over time. I mean in theory this is THE place for unit testing, but in reality unit testing the database ends up being either impractical, or next to impossible. What to do what to do??? I shoulda been a DBA

ALT.Net crowd is really tearing into this source code release pretty fierce. I am feeling ambivalent about the whole thing; I don't like the overall tone of the ALT.Net response, and yet at the same time I fear they are right about it perhaps not being a good example of a well designed MVC app. Not that I am knowledgeable about what MVC code level architecture should be. Honestly my first reaction was "Hey let me download this badboy and see what I can learn"... and then the reviews started coming in extremely negative. I think the approach I really like was Rob Conery. Ironic seeing that he received much the same treatment when he first started his MVC storefront series, and yet now he has been invited to be part of an ALT.NET blogging crew...

Took a little effort but I finally got this little web app up!!!
