Hey whats a module is everybody refering to code or is it something like... say for instance a webpart or even a contact page that has been created by the wizard... oohh! MR. Wizard lol. Because if it is the later why can't you turn it off by going into the sitemap and comment out the page to turn it off.

With all that has been written is anyone going to list the pros and cons I think I missed them.

A modular application is well,   modular, meaning that it is more like webparts or self contained applications that are included in an app. For example, say you are building a CMS, you can include a Guestbook, A forum, A blog and ofcouse the news module. Now not everyone wants all these features. Instead of commenting them out, you simply don't include them. You disable them, but hey are still there. Let's say 2 years later you change your mind and now want to include those features, you simply go to the admin section of your site and turn them on and bingo, they are available.

You also decide to only run one module of a big application. Take a look at Community server,it is a blog, a forum, Cms, Picture app etc. Most people only use the blog module. A truely modular application will allow you to rip any one module and run it as a stand alone application.

Ok, as for the Pros and Cons of BeerHOuse, it depends on how advanced you are. For a professional developer, you can use this TBH  kit as a framework for a world class application. It is a well built tool designed to showcase the depts you can push .Net framework.

Also, with a little modifications, you can modularize it and use it for  a very well built CMS.

For a beginner, the most you can learn from it is how to build good applications, assuming you uderstand C#,

Hope this helps

Did you ever resolve this issue with the Shopping Cart checkout of the Beer House started kit?

 ok guys, please let me know if i got this right:)

i still dont understand how TBH isnt moduler application!! it has several modules, built as user controls with normal aspx pages for the administration part, how is it any different than DNN modules! the only difference i can think off between DNN and TBH is that in DNN allowes (the site owner), to add a (new page). The site owner can login, plug a new(existing module) at any time since DNN is utilizing the webpart concept, the same can happen in TBH but the only difference is that you can plug(or remove) the module in an existing page!!. am not very aware about DNN framwork or how the modules are structured, maybe there is no seperate admin pages for DNN modules, meaning the (update, insert , delete..) operations can be called from the same user control that display lets the module data), maybe the module classes are included withing the control code behind file. if thats the case then the site owner need only to plug a module(online) without having to upload the admin pages with the necessary module classes as its the case with TBH..

is there any other difference?

Appreciate any comment

TBH is a fantastic starter kit.   Probably the best one I have run across so far.  Took me way up the learning curve.  Plus a good scalable, modular architecture, plus a book.  What's not to like?

Anyone want to compare it with the timetrakker starter kit? Hah!
