More On Maverick.NET

Justin is keeping the discussion about ASP.NET in the wire by blogging:

I REALLY like Mavrick.NET.

I like how a simple configuration file defines the flow of the site. My controller simple fills a model, sets it for the request, and returns what view should be shown. Simple and clean.

+1 on that I have been very happy with what I have seen.

I plan on doing a more thorough review (as soon as I finish up other obligations).

I really can't wait to get your thoughts and perspective on this.

 I suggest you check it out.  It is pretty easy to look through the code and figure out what's going on.

I have to second this thought.  I think that the .NET side of the fence could really gain alot by adopting a framework like Apache Struts.  We've already accepted ports of Java tools (Nant, NUnit), is it just a matter of time before we have a port of Struts as well?

I'd have to say, maybe we should rethink some of this porting stuff. There is a lot to learn there, but mindless ports will do not do any good.

I'm all for looking at the concepts, problems, and solutions solved by these frameworks(and libraries), but c'mon; things get bloated over time, and some concepts need redefinition and cleaned over time.

If I can't see how things work in 15 minutes then the source is too complicated, the architechure is convoluted, or the bloating is excessive.

Maverick is a good framework that was spawned from this exact sentiment. The .Net port is cool, but there are still some missing pieces on the .Net side. It could be a lot more.

I'd be all for an apache .Net community. It could be peer to the jakarta java one.

Isn't that sort of a strange idea - Apache is the home of the reference implementation of Sun's J2EE app server, Tomcat. Doing much with .Net in an environment heavily supported by Sun could step on some toes.
