Maybe you should call this iAlexandria?

You decided to play with Kindle SDK

To demonstrate CQS: Command-query separation?

You'll write a new book? if only~~

You are missing wish-list functionality in amazon

you're trying out SketchFlow...?

HI Xerxes, looks lot much more like "Balsamiq" :-)

Recommendation engine for (technical) books, based on collective intelligence + considering the stuff you already read ..

Filling in the gap in the CQS implementations, I hope.

I'd really love to see that one. WPF+NH+RQ in a Feature-based extensible architecture?

You are moving house and have so many shelves of technical books you've decided to create your own version of netflix as it's easier than hiring trucks to move them all.

That or you're planning to get rich off the ipad.

You are trying to build personal ebook manager :-)

Is it a brand new RTFM application?

To allow people to search books and purchase them upon finding content in the book they are looking for.

Thus growing your wealth and stroking your ego.

You're building NetFlix, only for books instead of movies. BookFlix? NetBooks?

I'd also point out that Alexandria was home to the world's first library. More evidence in favor of the NetFlix for Books idea.

Is it a sample application that shows how to build scalable applications?

To demonstrate your method of achieving a 3-tier architecture.

Because you plan to provide an open-source reference implementation for a high-performance web site based on CQS and DDD.

Because you are looking for help on it?

You're writing a new book for Manning, probably about nHibernate web apps, and you're sample app is a netflix like system for books.

scenario for your next MSDN article?

Oh, I thought you were announcing NHibernate for Balsamiq... In response to that critics claiming that EF had better integration with popular existing tools and a pretty designer.

the title is a little bit misleading, now, it isn't secret anymore ;)

So when will this article get published? :o

This is not a secret project, its already there published on GitHub, i noticed it was there 2 days ago :)

Don't you think MS guys will find the specialization of the application a bit... ironic?

That's cool. I had a very similar idea, although it would allow you to plug-in different data providers. My idea is that libraries would hire someone (me, most likely) to produce a plug-in that allows people to interface with their systems and rate books and things, and show up in the app. It was much too large a project just for me though. :)

Sweet, I have been waiting for this Ayende, and am eager to see how you approach it.

Thanks in advance...
