Sharp Architecture Framework - NHibernate and Castle Windsor ASP.NET MVC Framework

Thursday, April 09, 2009

If you are interested in an opinionated ASP.NET MVC Framework that includes NHibernate, Castle Windsor, T4 Template Scaffolding, and other goodies, you may want to check out the Sharp Architecture.

Per the Sharp Architecture Project:

Pronounced "Sharp Architecture," this is a solid architectural foundation for rapidly building maintainable web applications leveraging the ASP.NET MVC framework with NHibernate. The primary advantage to be sought in using any architectural framework is to decrease the code one has to write while increasing the quality of the end product. A framework should enable developers to spend little time on infrastructure details while allowing them to focus their attentions on the domain and user experience. Accordingly, S#arp Architecture adheres to the following key principles:

Focused on Domain Driven Design
Loosely Coupled
Preconfigured Infrastructure
Open Ended Presentation

The overall goal of this is to allow developers to worry less about application "plumbing" and to spend most of their time on adding value for the client by focusing on the business logic and developing a rich user experience.
