What’s In The Book?

Prism helps you to design and build flexible and maintainable WPF and Silverlight applications by using design patterns that support important architectural design principles, such as separation of concerns and loose coupling.

This guide will show you how to use Prism to implement the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern in your applications, and how to use it along with commands and interaction requests to encapsulate application logic and make it testable.

It will show you how to split an application into separate functional modules that can communicate through loosely coupled events, and how to integrate those modules into the overall application.

It will show you how to dynamically construct a flexible user interface by using regions, and how to implement rich navigation across a modular application.

I have blogged how to use the Unity Container with Prism 4 Region Navigation and the Silverlight Frame Navigation API’s.

While the sample code for the post is Silverlight, the Unity Configuration requirements are the same for WPF.

Mole 2010 Demo Released

March 6, 2011

Many developers have asked for a demo version of Mole 2010.  We have just released it at http://www.molosoft.com/demo/.

Sorry it has taken an extra week to release.  I’ve been sick for the last 10 days and have not been able to work or attend the Boise or Dallas Code Camps I really wanted to attend.  I’m hoping I’m out of the woods.

In the mean time, Josh has posted two nice blog posts on using Mole 2010 here:
