Have got a lot done today on the RetroF1 Sweepstake - after abandoning the idea of the cloud, I'm ploughin' on through getting the ASP.NET MVC stuff to a state I can at least start plugging in data, and be running, for the start of the season.
I upgraded to ASP.NET MVC v2 because I thought it might help me out with a problem, which it didn't (multiple lists within a view/controller)... reading around it appears some people are extended the HtmlHelper (and I presume routing too) stuff to get around this, I played briefly but couldn't get anything obviously working... so reverted to directly managing names, and picking stuff off the form to get it going - which works a treat. I'll come back to this topic when I'm done developing, I need to really see what they're doing - as by the example they're giving it's perfect for my needs.
Still, today I sorted out adding a competitor to a season and all the setup that goes on there, and completed all the result recording (some real nice abuse of try/catch there for determining if it's an edit or new record, yum!) - although I still need to complete the "attach a specific driver to a race" stuff, but that's only used for reporting rather than integral, I'll try to get that done tomorrow.
After that I need to knock up a pdf for email/print and create some publishable views to dump on the static website for the time being. Getting there slowly, as is the start of the season.
On the plus side, I feel I'm getting more to grips with LINQ and Lambda Expressions, and am already plotting the Beavervision Scoreboard, even considering a mobile-friendly website served up to let us techno-haves laud it over those scummy techno-have-nots.
