TASSOGRAPHY

Late last year I set out to completely rewrite the front end of tassography.com based on ASP.Net MVC. Well it’s finally done and now available for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

As well as changing the underlying code the most important change I made was a switch to an entirely new SEO-friendly URL schema. Gone are all the ugly, impossible to understand /ViewCollection.aspx?c=20100214 because that’s now /photography/2010-02-14-wandering-around-pier-39.

I’ve also refactored my Silverlight controls into cleaner reusable components. One of the aims I had was to release the photo viewer onto Codeplex to complement my Fotofly metadata library. I’m close to finishing this work and hope to have something to share later this week.

In a future next blog I’ll go through a few things I’ve learnt along the way, and the websites I used for tips and tricks.
