Web Client Software Factory Realeased for ASP.NET!!
One year after Microsoft's release of patterns & practices for Smart Client development, finally ASP.Net get is own software factory!
I have used the Smart Client Software Factory quite substantially and, having loved it, was always frustrated about the fact that there wasn't something nearly as good for web-based development. In fact, I even tried to come up with a similar architecture for ASP.Net trying to reproduce some of the concepts of the Smart Client Factory into a web scenario, but after a few frustrating shortcomings I decided just to wait for them to come out with one.
I haven't looked at it yet, but I am in the process of downloading it right now and I intend to experiment with it and blog my findings here.
I have high expectations for it, I just hope it doesn't dissapoint. I just think web-based development has been crying desperately for a unified best-practices architecture with design patterns applied. Let's just hope this is it!
