LightSpeed Beta 1 Ships

Tagged as Products

Today we shipped the first beta of LightSpeed, our domain modeling framework that is designed to get developers up and running much faster. It’s been a big effort getting this far but I’m really pleased with how LightSpeed is shaping up – I look forward to when everyone can use it to deliver higher quality solutions faster.

LightSpeed’s design philosophy is centred on:

• Convention over configuration.
• Support idiomatic .NET domain models: (Data binding etc.)
• Highly usable API and low barrier to entry.
• Internalizes best practice patterns: Session per request, Unit of Work etc.
• Testability built in.
• Small, lightweight and performant.
• Solve the 95% case – i.e. more like Rails than NHibernate.

Beta 1 is a closed beta meaning that you need to contact us if you want to test it out. We don’t have any firm close off dates so if you missed the first announcement then it’s not too late to sign up. Send me an email and I will send you out a beta tester email with details about LightSpeed. Thanks to all of those who have already expressed interest, it’s the efforts of testers that really help ensure that a product is of a high quality when it is released into production.

We will be posting more about LightSpeed over the next few weeks and months.
