  Ah Saturday morning where we can sleep in, ah no wait...I have kids to wake me up at the crack of dawn... Software Architecture The PAG folks continue to deliver their goodness with their first weekly drop of the new version of the Smart Client Software Factory and they looked like they brought over some of the cool stuff from the Mobile version: What’s New In this drop, you have the first look at: • New Application Blocks. We have ported over four application blocks that were previously available as part of the Mobile Client Software Factory. We may refactor, remove, replace, this code in the future (we value your input), but we currently have the following: o Disconnected Agent Application Block. This application block provides management features for execution of Web services from occasionally connected smart clients. With a disconnected service agent, the device can maintain a queue of Web service requests when offline (disconnected) (emphasis mine) and then replay them when a connection to the server application becomes available. o Connection Monitor Application Block. This application block monitors and exposes the available connections and the associated networks. o Endpoint Catalog Application Block. This application block provides features to expose the physical addresses and other details of remote services. o Data Access Application Block. This application block provides support for SQL Server Compact Edition. This application block will be replaced when the factory migrates to the next version of Enterprise Library. Jeremy Miller continues his excellent posts and talks about something Steve and I approach in our architecture: Don't Let the Database Dictate Your Object Model . I have to admit to being dragged a bit by Steve into this approach with OR/M and dropping the whole data-centric database-out view I have had for many years.

• Agile Project Use of CAB

  In comments to my post about our Agile project entering ship mode, a reader asked for more information about our use of CAB. While I intend to write more about OB and performance, here is a bunch of posts about CAB and our use of it during the last 14 months: Occasionally Connected Service Oriented Smart Clients New and Notable 93 New and Notable 94 Pair Programming at 33,000 Feet CAB Smart Clients in an Agile World Part 1 CAB Smart Clients in an Agile World Part 2 CAB, SCBAT and GAT New Drop of SCBAT Truckin' Along with Iteration 19 and Indigo/Contract First with Services BAT MSDN Architecture Webcast: Extending Microsoft patterns & practices ObjectBuilder Outlook Bar Workspace for CAB!
