Well, I was going to be writing up a review of DDD7 but after seeking out a good 3 column layout that I actually liked for WordPress last night (and failing) I have decided to take a new course of action.

I have been wanting to write a blog with ASP.NET MVC for quite some time, just never really found the time. I am now however, faced with a 7+ hour drive home from Reading and I think this would be the perfect time to write one, if nothing else just to see if I can actually do that in 7 hours

The tools I have with me are:

• Laptop
• Mobile Broadband Dongle
• Visual Studio 2008
• SQL Server 2008 Express
• ASP.NET MVC
• ADO.NET Entity Framework
• Endless antics from Gary Short
• Time

Update:

I knew it was adventurous and it was far more fun to be sociable in the car and help Colin Mackay out on the Developer Day Scotland website than it was to work on the blog. Saying that however, I think I am going to continue on with the blog and turn it into an MVC tutorial (or perhaps “Yet Another MVC Tutorial” better suits) which would allow me more time to develop it and actually provide something useful on the actual blog as well.

So while I don’t actually have a new blog yet, this has given me the idea to develop my own blog system in MVC and publish a tutorial along the way. Neat huh? (Well I think so)

DDD7 post will follow in the next couple of days but in the meantime, a big thanks to everyone who helped organise and run Developer Day 7 and a huge shout out to everyone who attended and made it what it was!
