After farting around with Windows Vista the past two days, and getting VS 2005 and SQL Server Tools installed on this machine I've finally started on Development for the new DnnCart.

This is a complete ground up rewrite, and will actually be a new approach for me for the development process. I hope to get to the point where I'm posting a new build daily, or at least as often as I can get to working on the module, hopefully an hour or two each night.

Tomorrow is planned tol be my first build, 9/26/2006. In that build you'll have the ability to add/update a Product. In that build a Product will consist of only a few attributes, but I'll be adding new attributes over time. So, expect this tomorrow night.

Product
   Name
   Short Description
   Long Description
Admin Interface for Editing Product
Sql for above code
Full C# Source Code

It won't be an installable module, but you will be able to add it to your own 4.3.5 development solution and start playing with it.

Like I said, this won't be a quick cycle for a fully functional module, it'll be done in small pieces, hopefully these small chunks will add up into a cool shopping cart module. I'll be using the knowledge from the last go around of DnnCart as a basis for design and definitely improvement.

I plan on utilizing the same model that DNN does for it's copyright/licensing. Essentially the code/module will be free for anyone to use, modify, sell, redistribute, the only requirement will be that my Copyright be maintained in the Source Code files themselves.
