Mindscape Lightspeed

On Friday, Mindscape released the final version of their domain model and O/R mapping framework for .NET developers. I have been on the beta and have been following the progress since it was introduced.

So what is Mindscape Lightspeed?

"LightSpeed is an innovative, high performance .NET domain model and O/R mapping framework designed to accelerate your development while, at the same time, providing your application with a solid foundation based on best practice domain-driven design patterns. With features like convention-over-configuration, fast data access, model validation and data binding, it allows you to focus your efforts where they should be: Solving business problems and not writing tedious infrastructure and "plumbing" code."

One can look at this and say it’s similar to LINQ as it solves/addresses the same area. It’s pretty cool stuff and definitely worth checking out. Feature list can be found here: http://www.mindscape.co.nz/products/LightSpeed/ and there is even a free express version which can be found here: http://www.mindscape.co.nz/Products/LightSpeed/Download.aspx.

Well done to the guys at Mindscape in getting this out
