MVVM - Silverlight

I'm working on a Real life example of MVVM for Silverlight which I'll put up on the web. In the mean time, take a look at this working Demo/video. Watch it at least twice.

I think you will like it. This doesn't use Data from a DB so I want to get that locked in with some Forms Authentication as well so you can see it in a real world example (or at least what I would consider real world)

Intro to MongoDB

I finally was able to write down some of my notes from watching the Pluralsight: Intro to MongoDB course.  These are just my notes but I absolutely recommend you watch the course and signup for Pluralsight.  MSDN subscriptions typically come with some free time with Pluralsight.

We’re going to create this in a .NET Standard library so we can start using this same library in both .NET Core or .NET framework class libraries in this and future guides going forward. Our business class library will start off doing three things.   ·         Log generic topics into the database ·         Log emails to be sent ·         Send emails Before the creation of the library itself, we need to model our database to store these values. This will be used for logging and our automated email queue. Below is a high-level overview of all of the steps to create this library.
