This is part 2 of Building a web app. You can find part 1 here.

First I went hunting for a name. I wanted something techy and specific to my audience (.net developers). One idea was something you use in temporary apps while experimenting with a part of the framework you're not familiar with:

Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}", result);

Some developers use Debug.WriteLine, Trace.WriteLine or custom logging implementations, but after a cursory glance over StackOverflow and Bytes, most examples seem to use Console.WriteLine.

I've decided to start with Console.WriteLine and the domain name consolewriteline.com, I can always change it later.

With idea, product and domain name under my belt, and with motivation at an all time high, I'm all set for tomorrow evening's task: design a mock up.
