DataBlock. Stick a fork in it….it’s done.

  This is a post long overdue. I regularly get mail about DataBlock's future so i’m happy to say that (remaining bugs aside) …folks stick a fork in it cause it’s done.  I consider that i have achieved with DataBlock what i set out to do : a small, lean, separation of concerns enforced, easy to deploy, simple API  O/RM. The only thing that is missing now would be LINQ integration (unfortunately that’s a pretty big undertaking and i don’t really have time for this now….at least as a open source. If somebody is interested to sponsor this then contact me).

  So  i guess it’s safe to say that, while bugs will be fixed, no new features will be added.  A related project that i am planning is adding DataBlock business objects like API to Entity Framework. But that’s another story…
