Web Deployment Projects
I know I'm *way* late in the game here, but Web Deployment Projects are my new sliced bread. With all the built in cool things you can do, and even these cooler things, I've been able to save tons of time! Anyway here's to ScottGu and his team for saving us developers a bit of time.

What Do Java Developers Have On Us?
Lots! From the blog of Sam Gentile..."I really loved Ted's post on the above with the quote, "But Java still has much more it can teach the .NET community: mocking, unit-testing, lightweight containers, dependency-injection, and the perils of O/R-M are just part of the list of things that the Java community has close to a half-decade's experience in, compared to .NET's none." Amen. I have been making this same point for years. Some people in the .NET/Microsoft community think all this stuff is whacked because its not part of a MSDN article but these things are part of parcel of great software architecture and development and the .NET community is way behind here. When I do my SOA talk around the country and talk about Software Architecture, I ask the audience if they have one of the bibles, Evan's Domain-Driven Design and almost no hands go up! Repositories, DI, OR/M, gosh I must do the database-driven stored proc thing all the time because Microsoft tells me to. I am really hoping that key books like Jimmy Nilsson's Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns: With Examples in C# and .NET, starts to solve this issue that Martin Fowler calls "Many people in the Microsoft community have not been as good as others in propagating good design for enterprise applications...this book is a valuable step." Her's hoping (again)."Can I get another Amen! -

TDD, DB, and Unit Tests - Book or Article?
Can anyone recommend a good book or article on writing unit tests to cover object persistance and retrieval via a relational database? Or maybe on writing tests covering general data access. -
