Hello S#arp Architecture Community,

I just wanted to let you know that a S#arp Architecture based e-commerce site has just been released into the wild: http://www.fancydressoutfitters.co.uk

For those who are interested - here's a little background:

- We ran the project using Scrum (managing the project with Scrum for Team System)

- Delivered in 20 weeks: 10 x 2 week iterations
- We extended the core S#arp Architecture framework (support for multiple databases, ViewModels etc...)
- Integrated other OSS projects into the solution:
  - N2CMS
  - Spark View Engine
  - xVal Validation Framework
  - AutoMapper (for entity / view model mapping)
  - PostSharp (for cross cutting concerns - logging, performance counters, caching)
  - MBUnit / Gallio for our BDD Framework
  - Solr & SolrNet for Search and Faceted Navigation
- Over 700 BDD Specs
- Solution performs very well - 1000 concurrent users per web server, generating around 180 pages per second across 2x single quad core 64bit servers.

If you're really interested two of the developers in the team (James Broome & Jon George who have both posted to this forum) & myself have blogged our thoughts & experiences developing this solution and working with S#arp Architecture:

I wanted to say a HUGE thank-you to everyone in this community for all the passion, energy, knowledge and help you provide on a daily basis.

S#arp Architecture is a wonderful framework that truly is greater than the sum of its parts.

/Howard

excellent, I look forward to reading though the posts. Really nice site as well. I forwarded it on to my wife who is a huge halloween fan.

Good idea Kyle... Does anyone else have "S#arp in the Wild!" projects
they'd like to have included?

Hi Guys,

http://www.fanlands.com is the first we've launched using #Arch. We
have 4 other projects in the studio right now that are at various
levels of progress that are also being built in #Arch.

So I just want to give another big thanks to everyone that has worked
on #Arch.

Bryan
