Has anyone made use of all this stuff? I too am interested in automated testing as well as the MVP pattern.

It looks like what I need for a new product/service I have in mind. I’m not as techie as I once was so it’s all become a struggle to keep up with all this.

I’m going to need to use the web services stuff to get to my main database, but that will come next.
I did take a look at that but didn't really like the way everything was structured so opted against using it (more out of personal preference than anything else). I've used MVP in a very similar way to how they use it there, but using MS Unity for dependency injection rather than Object Builder. It's working very well for me. The general approach to the WCSF seems good though, MVP with a controller for UI logic is probably how I'd approach it for a more complex site. If you're willing to adopt technology early, as mentioned earlier, the MVC framework might be a better option (at least for your CV)!
