CAB and the Smart Client Software Factory |
|
| Subject: |
Microsoft Pattern & Practices Team’s Composite UI Application Block (CAB) and Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF) ease the development of modular, extensible, and maintainable smart clients.
Starting with a general, theoretical overview of smart clients, we’ll quickly move into a deep examination of CAB centered on working code. We’ll dig into the anatomy of CAB/SCSF, uncovering some key design patterns used in the toolset: Model-View-Presenter, Publish-Subscribe, and Dependency Injection. Throughout the talk we’ll share best practices and consider design decisions for achieving modularity and extensibility in your own smart clients with the CAB/SCSF tools and guidance.
By the end of the tour, those new to CAB should find their learning curves greatly reduced. Intermediate-to-advanced CAB hackers will take away some hard fought tips-toward and tricks-to taking their composite smart clients and plug-in architectures to the next level.

Running for Charity
100% of what you donate goes directly to the kids. There is zero overhead. We went to visit the doctors last year and they showed us exactly where the money went. Some treatments that are now lifesaving have been created via this funding. What is great is at mile 18 they bring the kids out to cheer us on. They give us high 5s and go crazy. The doctors all hand out water. It is impossible to run by and not be affected.

Shut Up Bill
Former President Bill Clinton, angrily defending his efforts to capture Osama bin Laden, accused the Bush administration of doing far less to stop the al Qaeda leader before the September 11 attacks. Is this guy serious? Does he believe his own hype?
Let's do the math:
President Clinton had 8 years. Bush had <8 months.
Osama bin Laden targeted the US on 9/11 because of the lack of response by Clinton. Let's review:
USS Cole: No response.
African Embassy Bombings: 4 cruse missiles (2 for each embassy bombed).
Saudi Arabian Towers: an FBI investigation, no response abroad.
World Trade Center bombing: an FBI investigation, no response abroad.
Earlier this month, Clinton dismissed as "indisputably wrong" a U.S. TV show that suggested her was too distracted by the Monica Lewinsky scandal to confront the Islamic militant threat that culminated in the September 11 attacks.
Then why did you not capture him Bill?
Those who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones...
