.NetTiers has just released it's 2.0 version and it is the best architecture / code generation template ever released. For those of you who do not know about the whole code generation thing, I feel sorry for you. You will not believe the amount of time you will save generating code. I have been writing my own code generators since 1998 when i used Lingo to write html and perl. No joke! Anyway, I have been writing a vb and c# code generator the last 3 years for my own good, but ever since I stumbled across nettiers template for codesmith, I have stopped my own development. These guys knock it out for you. It is the best code generator template out there for .net 2.0. I religiously use this for every project i have had for 6 months now. The new release fixes many things and is very easy to use. You can definitely take extreme programming to the next level with this stuff.

Well as you can see I am pretty excited about this stuff and so much that I asked if I could help with nettiers. I was lucky enough to be added as a developer to the open source project. I am going to focus on adding some atlas / ajax to the admin since it is what i have the most passion for and experience playing around with the atlas control toolkit for the last 4 months.
