Composite application block - CAB
June 4th, 2008I have been working with CAB since 2006 and this is a great framework for building composite enterprise windows applications.
I will use this post to share some own experience regarding using this an excellent and very usefull piece of software.
CAB is built on top of .NET2.0 framework and utilizing many software patterns like: Model-View-Presenter, command, publish-subscribe, dependency injection…
The first thing I would like to share with you is this CAB tutorial on WEB you must read:
In August 2008 I presented at Calgary .NET User Group how to use CAB in enterprise application development. You can get demo code and presentation slides from this link:

Tom Van Flandern, Univ. of Maryland & Meta Research
From the book ‘Open Questions in Relativistic Physics’ (pp. 81-90), edited by Franco Selleri, published by Apeiron, Montreal (1998)
**************************************
1. What is the GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of a network of 24 satellites in roughly 12-hour orbits, each carrying atomic clocks on board. The orbital radius of the satellites is about four Earth-radii (26,600 km).

Notes about “drilling directions” in software development
June 17th, 2007- When doing software development the safest approach is to start the first with vertical design and development (up-downfits better agile and use-case driven development) and then elaborate on horizontal tiers in subsequent construction phase as required.
- When doing error handling in an application the best approach is from outside to inside. The first have generic error handling wrapping around topmost process and go inside process routines and wrap and handle as required.
