IDesign and .NET: Applying to a Common .NET Scenario

Part 1 of 1 of the IDesign Exploration series

I’m excited to begin a demo project applying IDesign to .NET. This series will follow my progress. Along the way, I’ll be using a minimal api to bridge from the user app to the IDesign manager. I might even see if I can work a pub-sub pattern in as well, or perhaps dockerization.

The initial skeleton code is now up on GitHub, if you want to check it out. Also, the project is over on my portfolio page. The outline for the project shows the concept of a user app, a thin API endpoint handler layer, then the IDesign manager, accessor, and resource concepts.

Right now, the resource layer has placeholders for both a T-SQL and Postgres databases. I’ll decide soon on which way to go — what I’m currently using at work (T-SQL) or what I’ve used previously at and outside of work, Postgres.

Check out my first-look review on IDesign, or if you want to read up more on IDesign, check out their site, the book, Righting Software, or videos on YouTube.
