This last mount I have been around cities in Norway giving a presentation called ‘WPF Done Right’. This is in relation to Microsofts MSDN Live tour where they go to 4 large cities in Norway with presentations about new and upcoming technologies. The presentation I’m giving is about Composite Application Guidance. You may know it as Prism because this was the codename they used when they started developing this guidance. It’s important to distinguish Prism from Composite Application Block. Prism equals freedom. You can do whatever you want with this framework/guidelines. If you want to use something else than what comes out-of-the-box, you can. A god example of this is Unity. Unity is a IOC container made by Microsoft. If you don’t want to use it, you don’t have to. You can switch to Autofact or Windsor. It’s up to you. In CAB you have to follow all the rules that the CAB team have decided. CAB equals not so much freedom.

I’m really excited about this framework and I love working with it. I will definitely write posts about this framework in the future.

Rune Grothaug at Microsoft took some pictures from the event in Trondheim. You can view them here.

I’m giving this presentation together with Kjetil Klaussen, a friend and colleague from Acando.
