A few months ago I wrote an MSDN article on the new Composite Application Guidance (which will always be Prism to me :) ) which was just published. In the article I talk about Composite Applications in WPF in general, several design patterns in play, and specific ways to leverage WPF in doing so. I cover...

It's been a while since i posted anything on Prism. When I left p&p, i said you would see more posts on Prism on my blog. I've been pretty immersed in MEF since leaving and haven't done any posts on Prism yet. Today, I got inspired (albeit late in the evening) based on a post on the forums...

A few weeks ago I had a chance to chance to chat with the gang over at  Herding Code on all of the above. I was in a particularly talkative mood after coming from a full day of presenting at Tech-Ready, so I'll warn you that there might be some rambling. As a result the podcast was split into...

In the development of the Composite Application Guidance one area that we have labored intensely was around documentation. Documentation was so high on our priority list, that we deliberately reduced the number of bells and whistles in order to allow us to properly document what we had. As part of this...

Today we received the following question / comment on our forums around our strategy for supporting multiple containers in Prism. This is something that I believe is on the minds of other folks using Prism. Below is a portion of the thread which you can access here Hi all, I'm currently getting up...

Recently at the ALT.NET Summit, I got a chance to sit down with Greg Young to discuss the work we've been doing in our new Composite Application Guidance (Prism). In the interview we talk about the guidance, what technical and architectural challenges it addresses including specific to WPF,how it...

At the end of last week we dropped an RC for Composite Application Guidance AKA Prism. This week the only thing left to do...

I am supposed to be working an article, but couldn't resist posting on this one. Our most recent Prism drop (now called Composite Application Guidance) includes a spike we did where we converted our reference app to use Castle Windsor. It was a pretty straight forward effort basically involving a...

Francis has been a busy man lately on his blog with a series of posts on the various loosely coupled communication patterns and mechanisms we use in Prism. He gives a great overview of what they are and in which situations they are applied within our RI. Great work Francis! Decoupled Communication with...

Several drops ago we introduced a ViewModel composition spike. The purpose of this spike was to introduce a different way to compose your UI that WPF offers. That is instead of having your views and regions be UI-Elements, having them as pure models. What I mean by this is instead of having a Employee...
