I am proud to announce that we release the Composite Application Guidance for WPF both on Codeplex and on MSDN.

For the past months I have been working with the Patterns & Practices team in the development of the Composite Application Guidance for WPF. I took part of the documentation team, we worked hard to provide an excellent documentation and as a result we had really good feedback from users on the included documents.

Overview. What is the Composite Application Guidance for WPF?

The Composite Application Guidance for WPF is a set of Guidance designed to help you build enterprise-level applications composed of multiple independent and loosely-coupled pieces of software that work together to compose a single application.

Package Contents

The Guidance includes the following elements:

• The Composite Application Library and Unity binaries
• The StockTrader Reference Implementation
• 4 QuickStarts: UIComposition QS, EventAggregation QS, Modularity QS and Commanding QS
• Composite Application Guidance Hands-On Lab
• API Documentation
• Composite Application Guidance Documentation

Documentation

The following diagram shows what is included in the Composite Application Guidance Documentation:

I strongly recommend you to check the documentation because its very exhaustive and easy to read. I think it is an excellent starting point to learn the basics if you are new to composite applications and patterns usage, as well as if you are a CAB (Composite Application Block) developer.
