I've been extensively using the CAB (Composite UI Application Block) and the SCSF (Smart Client Software Factory) lately. You should really dig them if you are creating Windows Forms applications. The CAB is a great tool to structure your developments and create reusable components. The SCSF is great for working with the CAB...Eugenio Pace, ...

In this article we compare the Microsoft Three-Layered Services Application [Microsoft TLSA] architecture against one by Domain Driven-Design architecture [Evans DDD] for organizing domain logic. For this purpose we use the Microsoft .NET Pet Shop 4 application as an example to explain the difference between these two approaches. It then gives ...

Udi Dahan – Microsoft Architecture MVP will give an Advanced Distributed System Design Using SOA Course this week at Jhon Bryce, If you want to join the course there are stillsome seats left but hurry up !

If you're in Israel, Udi Dahan, Israel's own Software Simplist, is holding a 2 day Architecture and SOA course. Some of the stuff he's covering sounds interesting.

Apparently I inspired Udi (Microsoft Solutions Architect MVP)with my post on “Applying the application layer in Domain Driven Design” to do a podcast on this topic. You can download/stream Udi's podcasts directly fromDr. Dobb’s Portal in the SOA, Web Services & XML section. Perhaps I should experiment with blogcasting my thoughts?

He also has his own blog post on this matter. ''I think it's important to separate the idea of Software Factories from their current MS implementation. Full code ...

I got a response in my comments to my post about Software Factories perhaps being too complicated to be used in the real world. It was from Mauro Regio , one of the initiators of the HL7 project mentioned in that post. Here's what he had to say: ''Guy's comment is missing the fact that Software Factory is a long term initiative and that what is ...
