DZone Interview – MVVM and Prism
I did an interview for DZone at DevTeach Toronto a few weeks ago and that is now available online here. In the interview I described what the ViewModel pattern is all about and how it manifests itself in Silverlight and WPF apps. I also talked about what I found most interesting in Silverlight 4, specifically the enhancements in data binding and commanding that close the gap a lot between WPF and Silverlight and provide the glue that is needed to really do MVVM well. I also talked about Prism and what it provides for you: Commands, loosely couple events, UI Composition, and Modularity. There is also a very short (~1 minute) demo that shows some of the characteristics of the code of an MVVM implementation. Hope you enjoy it.

DevConnections VS 2010 Launch Event Sessions
This week I gave three talks at the Visual Studio Connections conference launch event for Visual Studio 2010. The topics included using Workflow 4 in service applications, writing custom activities in Workflow 4, and unit testing services and workflows. You can download the slides and demos for each here:
VWF01: Workflow 4 Service Applications Slides Demos
VWF02: Workflow 4 Custom Activities Slides Demos
VWF03: Unit Testing Workflows and Services Slides Demos It was great to see the interest and enthusiasm surrounding the launch of VS 2010. There is so much great new stuff there and in the .NET 4 framework to be excited about, as well as the launch of Silverlight 4. I think one of the most important things for companies to keep in mind is that they can move to VS 2010 safely and keep building and supporting apps for .NET 3.5 and even back to 2.0 for as long as they need to for their deployment environments. But meanwhile they can start benefiting immediately from the big improvements in the VS 2010 IDE, including better code editing features, significantly improved designer for WPF and Silverlight, faster loading References window, IntelliTrace and so much more.
