[edit] Castle Project history
The project was founded by Hamilton Verissimo de Oliveira (Hammett), who was a member of the Apache Avalon and the Apache Excalibur projects. Being keenly interested on the development of an Inversion of Control container, after resigning from Avalon and being disilluded from Excalibur, he went on developing and releasing its own for the .Net platform.
Hammett was soon joined by other developers, especially after the publishing of a series of articles [1] [2] on The Code Project and the Castle Project eventually expanded its mission to provide a simple set of tools to speed up the development of common enterprise and web applications while promoting good architecture.
In 2006 Hammett started its own company to offer commercial support for the Castle Project and for the applications developed using the framework.
