Prism – Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight

Over the years Microsoft based applications have evolved in such a way that makes them robust, easy to maintain and follow solid design patterns. Prims provides guidance to help design such applications. Prism is based on Composite Application guidance. This was the topic of presentation that I did at San Gabriel Valley .NET developers group meeting (http://www.sgvdotnet.org/) . This talk covered introduction to Composite Applications as design pattern, how PRISM helps us implement Composite Applications and some code examples for that. At the end this talk will include where technology is leading us in this area.
