Projects

I'm involved in a number of projects, both commercial and open source.

Truffler

I'm a co-founder of Truffler. Truffler is a search engine that empowers developers to build great search experiences on web sites, intranets and just about any type of system that has textual content. Truffler recognizes that you know your data best and allows you to query it using your own domain model. Thereby offering a better experience to users, more fun for developers, shorter development cycles and cost efficiency.

Page Type Builder

Page Type Builder is a plug-in for EPiServer CMS that allows developers to define EPiServer page types in code which eliminates the need to synchronize page types between different servers. As page types are declared in code it also enables inheritance between page types and strongly typed property access. You can read more about Page Type Builder on it's CodePlex site and under posts tagged with paged type builder.

EPiAbstractions 

EPiAbstractions provides facades for many of the classes in EPiServers products which enable it's users to decouple their code from the concrete implementations and thereby gaining the ability to unit test code that otherwise would depend on the concrete implementations. You can read more about EPiAbstraction on it's CodePlex site and under posts tagged with epiabstractions

EPiMVP

EPiMVP is a project for using EPiServer CMS with the ASP.NET Web Forms MVP project.

This site

While this site is my personal blog and homepage it is also an open source project, kindly sponsored with software by EPiServer. With it I aim to expand the "EPiSphere" with another set of templates, albeit for a blog. You are very welcome to download the source code from the projects CodePlex site.

While I've done all of the coding myself (with some inspiration and code samples from Pro ASP.NET Framework) I have had some great help with the design from Robert Piirainen and Anders Adlén (the illustrations and CSS for the header).

The site uses some great frameworks and plug-ins, namely:

Server side

Client side

  1. @chraas You might want to use it for complex parts of the site and not use it for simple rendering pages. 1 days ago
  2. @chraas In theory more SOLID, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. 1 days ago
  3. @chraas Be warned that you're introducing one big chunk of complexity with EPiMVP :) 1 days ago
