Web Client Software Factory & CompositeWebUI

The Microsoft Patterns & Practices Team recently released a new version of the Web Client Software Factory that can be found on CodePlex. One of the things I noticed directly, is that they implemented a web version of the Composite UI based on the ObjectBuilder.

The goals of Web Client Software Factory are:

• CAB for Web
  • Hiding complexity
  • Separation of infrastructure & biz logic
  • Biz logic reuse amongst different UI Technologies
  • Promoting consistent development practices
• Navigation
• UI Richness
• UI Layout management
• State management
• Best use of technology available (Ajax, WinForms controls, ...)
• Security
• SaaS implications on application design
