Hour2: 2:00 to 3:00
2:05 Got installed, template there, created first application, for hello world got “System.BadImageFormatException: Bad IL range.” ODD error - but probably to be expected with no controller, or model
2:12 Got myself a nice cup of “English Breakfast Tea”
2:13 - YUCK I accidentally had made a VB.NET rather than C# project. I feel Dirty
2:16 made a NEW C# one, without tests and I didn’t get that strange error. Going to try C# with tests.
2:18 YAY, C# ASP.NET MVC project, with tests, compiled and run with no errors. Though I don’t intend of doing custom tests in the alpha. I’ll keep it this way.
2:20 changed app name, and it looks like I’m using master pages some anyway at least since that’s what the template uses.
2:25 poking through each file in the template generated project, and making sure I understand everything I see. Decided to not bother with other templates for now, but use this project to get a full round trip with different URLs, presenting data from the DB
2:29 I see the accountcontroller. I won’t have any login stuff in this Alpha. But I’ll leave this in here for now.
2:35 Decided on buying the domain name, but having a hard time locating my registrar login info :)
2:44 purchased tweetloss.com , there we go. You now know the name of the application.
2:45 BATHROOM break.
2:48 Decided on a restful URL pattern, and working on first Controller and View.
3:00 Making progress with the view and controller
