This post is the first in a series of posts talking about the ingredients that have gone into the project so far. I'm still acutely aware that there's no public code yet, but as a sort of stalling tactic, let me talk about some of the things that have gone into the project so far. This first part is a look back at the first few days of the project, way back in November last year.
If we use a bread-baking analagy (a crummy analagy, I know), these ingredients are the standard essentials whether you're making .Net web-bread or Java app-bread - things like a bread tin (source control), an oven (continuous integration tools), a rolling pin (build tools), etc. My next few posts will look at some of the later ingredients in the process, such as the tools I'm using for testing, exception handling and event logging, isolation frameworks , dependency injection, etc.
