Project DescriptionMinima is a blog engine built on the Themelia ASP.NET Framework and WCF. Therefore, it provides a completely new paradigm for blog engines. It's also used to power NetFXHarmonics.com and is used by Jampad Technology, Inc. in .NET training.
The purpose of Minima is to provide a functional example of real-world applications of .NET technologies. Therefore, Minima is continually fully re-architected, re-designed, and re-structured on a regular basis to demonstrate the most of up-to-date technologies, paradigms, and best-practices.

As a Training Tool
Minima is often used as a training tool for introductory, intermediate, and expert-level .NET. Minima 2.0 could be used as a training tool for ASP.NET, CSS theming, proper use of global.asax, integrating with Windows Live Writer, framework design guidelines, HttpModules, HttpHandlers, HttpHandlerFactories, LINQ, type organization, proper-SQL Server table design and naming scheme, XML serialization, and XML-RPC.NET usage. Minima 3.1 can be used as a training tool for the same concepts and technologies as Minima 2.0 as well as SOA principles, custom WCF service host factories, custom WCF behaviors, WCF username authentication, custom WCF declarative operation-level security, WCF exception shielding and fault management, custom WCF message header usage, WCF type organization, WCF-LINQ DTO transformation, enhanced WCF clients, using WCF sessions for Captcha verification, SQL Server 2005 schema security, XmlWriter usage, ASP.NET programmatic user control usage, custom configuration sections, WCF JavaScript clients, ASP.NET control JavaScript registration, JavaScript namespaces, WCF JSON services, WCF RSS services, ASP.NET templated databinding, and ASP.NET control componentization.
Themelia Framework 2.0
It's important to note that in addition to the various other technologies used to build Minima 3.1, the primary foundation for Minima is the Themelia Framework 2.0. This is one of the two primary technologies, WCF being the other, which gives Minima it's unique edge.
