Monorail - graphs


Loving Castle Project's Monorail.  Having used webforms for the last 5 years I'm currently enjoying the freedom to generate whatever HTML I desire. For most of the applications I work on CRUD screens are the order of the day and as such the HTML is fairly straightforward.

Very occasionally though I miss some of the web-controls that are available. Graphing is an excellent example of that. Having briefly contemplated writing a server-side control to squirt out a jpeg/gif (couldn't find any 3rd party graphing controls to do it) a colleague of mine discovered AnyChart, a flash based graphing component.

Perfect

Castle Project - ActiveRecord and nHibernate

For anyone new to using Castle Projects excellent ActiveRecord implementation I would recommend the following book to gain a good grounding in (n)Hibernate.

Sometimes only the power of hsql will cut it...
