Introducing the Mobile Client Software Factory
Posted by Jon Westfall in "DEVELOPER" @ 11:00 PM
"Architects and developers identify and discover the proven practices and patterns through application development. This is an extensive process, especially when proven practices and patterns are discovered later in the application life cycle and force application refactoring. Alternatively, development teams can investigate and attempt to identify proven practices and patterns before starting the application development project. This also can be a time consuming and difficult activity because patterns and practices are most easily identified during actual application development. With the Mobile Client Software Factory, architects and developers can quickly incorporate many of the proven patterns and practices of mobile client development. The offering provides you with a set of proven practices that are exposed through patterns, How-to topics, reference implementations, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit packages, reusable components, and documentation. The factory content guides you through the development of mobile applications based on the Compact Composite User Interface Application Block architecture. By using the factory, architects and developers can focus more of their efforts on implementing business requirements."
Some new developer building blocks are present in this CTP now available for you to check out. It's nice to see that any holes that a developer may run across are closing with the introduction of products such as this, enabling those with vision and minimal skills to compete with visionary codeslingers!
