Techdays 2012 slidedeck & code
[16 Feb 2012 | 3 Comments]

Yesterday, I delivered a session at Techdays Belgium: MVVM & WCF RIA Services: an architectural story.

 

At the start of each project, you’ll have to lay out your solution architecture - and it’s very important to “get this right”. Silverlight, MVVM & WCF RIA Services work nicely together, but as with each architecture, the best solution depends on your application requirements. What are your options in this case? What are the pitfalls? How can you tie these technologies together to provide you with a solid foundation for your projects? This is an in-depth session, based on real-life experience.

 

As promised, you can download the code + slidedeck from my Skydrive. 

 

Enjoy! :-)

Building applications for multiple clients
[9 Feb 2012 | 0 Comments]

One of the challenges a lot of businesses are struggling with today is the fact that the users of their software are becoming used to accessing their data from a multitude of devices: on the net, on a desktop, on a phone, on a tablet, …

 

This of course raises a lot of questions: how should you develop for this multitude of devices?  Are there best practices?  Can you reuse code, and if yes, should you?  How can you keep costs in check? Et cetera.

 

To answer some of these questions, I’ve started a new article series at SilverlightShow:  Developing for a multitude of clients: Strategies for code reuse and keeping costs in check.

 

In this series, I’ll try to answer the questions a lot of us are wondering about, and while doing so, we’ll build the same type of application as an HTML5, Silverlight (web), Silverlight (OOB), Windows Phone and Windows 8 Metro application. 

 

The first two parts are available now, quite a few more are coming up – enjoy! :)
