Announcing the patterns & practices Web Client Software Factory
September 25th, 2006
The Client team at patterns and practices released the Smart Client Software
Factory two months ago. I’ve been part of the development of this software
factory and now joined the team again for the new software factory for Web
Clients
Eugenio Pace, Michael Puleio and EdJez already blogged about it. This is an exciting project and hopefully we will make
the life easier for developers to write web projects using proven practices
and patterns with the help of guidance automation, reference implementations, how-tos, hands on labs, workshops, etc.
The window with the community will be opened at the new
CodePlex site. You will
find the first alpha drop!
