Everyday Sueetie Development¶

• Sueetie IIS and Development Configuration - The IIS and application directory setup used at Sueetie.org and its family sites like Gummy Bear.
• Working with Sueetie in Visual Studio - An introduction to configuring your local development environment for development and debugging in Visual Studio.
  

Sueetie.Core Patterns and Origins¶

1. The real stars of Sueetie are the Open Source applications that comprise it: ScrewTurn Wiki, YetAnotherForum.NET, BlogEngine.NET and Gallery Server Pro. Each of those applications serves as a rich target environment of original source code to fuel rapid development of the Sueetie Framework. The more we base Sueetie coding patterns on member application source the more competent we become both in Sueetie framework development and in the application as well. Double Bonus!
   
   
2. The 5th item of the Sueetie Manifesto states, "Sueetie developers write original code or leverage code from Open Source resources. Sueetie developers never use code from source-available commercial .NET products in Sueetie communities." Commercial .NET products have every right to protect their intellectual property, and Sueetie developers fully honor that principle. Yet in honoring that principle with every line of Sueetie code written, there are basic coding patterns and methodologies common to all applications, Open Source or Proprietary. By documenting the Open Source origination of Sueetie Framework source code, no commercial entity can question the integrity of Sueetie or conclude that their End User License Agreement has been violated simply because Sueetie shares well-established and universal coding patterns and methodologies.
