Projects
The first time it’s research, the second time it’s merely engineering.
ActiveEngine Sensei
Why pontificate if you can’t produce anything? Here are the projects that have been discussed on this blog. They are a mix of full blown solutions, experiments and snippets that have made Sensei more productive. Should you have feedback, let Sensei know.
ApprovaFlow – An Alternative to Windows Workflow
Use simple state machines instead of complicated workflows to implement business processes. This project uses JSON.Net, Stateless, jQuery to create a platform for creating robust workflows while allowing you to configure behavior of your application as opposed to constantly re-deploying changes to production. Currently in development – come build with Sensei!.

Persistent AnonymousTypes
A class that simulates the features of an anonymous type in .Net, but with the ability to use the object beyond the scope of the method that created it. Techniques for query an collection of persistent AnonymousTypes is featured, along with the ability to serialize and AnonymousType to JSON.

Janga – Object Validation with a Fluent Interface
An experiment with fluent interfaces and expression trees that creates a framework for validating properties of an object. This can help with the legibility of your program by presenting a clean code block that easily describes your intent.
Write code that reads like:
bool passed = employee.Enforce()
.When("Age", Compares.IsGreaterThan, 45)
.When("Department", Compares.In, deptList)
.IsValid();
if(passed)
{
SomeProcess();
}
