Last night was good, we followed along the .pdf file for the sample app, and walked through the web piece and the Client/web service piece... Didn't look at much code at all.

The project contains class diagrams, and an msdn style help file with all the objects, and the code is heavily and purposefully commented to help identify and explain the design patterns in use.

The .pdf file explains the setup, a quick walkthru of the app and features, explainations of architectural choices, and then explainations of all the code.

Next month (Sept) we'll dig in deep to the web code,

then in Oct we'll tackle the client/web service code.

take a look at this stuff before the next meeting and join us!

no need to worry about missing a previous meeting... each meeting will be covering new stuff.

Worth checking out - http://www.codeplex.com/RepositoryFactory this is a new package that is for Data access only. It used to be part of the Web Client software factory but now is a package in its own right. I have tried it out and it is very useful; generates all the business layers and data access objects using the Enterprise Library data access stuff and heavy uses of interfaces. For my own project I made a little modification to include a facade as well to keep in line with the design pattern discussion - would be happy to Demo this at the SIG :)
