.NET Pet Shop 4 Released!

bdasamppet401.jpgMicrosoft released PetShop 4.0. As you may know, PetShop is a web application designed to show the best practices for building enterprise, n-tier web solutions using Microsoft .NET technology. The previous version (PetShop 3.0) was a major different release because Microsoft team intoruced a model for PetShop that both SQL Server 2000 and Oracle databases were supported.

In this new version PetShop uses Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Oracle 10g Database.

It's a few months that I am using PetShop coding and project model in my own web applications and I think that this model gives all web developers a better feel to develop their projects.

As you can read here, PetShop 4.0 is a good practice for those who want to migrate from ASP.NET 1.x to 2.0 and want to keep their coding style as modern as possible.

If you used PetShop 3.0 before and want to migrate your .NET Framework I suggest you download it right now!

Again about i18n!

I recently wrote a post about i18n in ASP.NET. Today while I was searching for some better articles about this issue I found Microsoft Middle East MSDN site. This web site is built to help middle eastern developers which their native language is Arabic. Since Persian language, like Arabic, is a right-to-left (RTL) language I think many articles and resources on this web site can help Persian developers build more internationalized windows and web applications. Don't miss it!

UPDATE: Dr. International blog and Microsoft Global Dev. are also interesting :D
