Whitepaper: Building a DSL for an existing Framework (ACA.NET + WCF)

Finally the whitepaper I have been talking about before is published. The paper dives into the process we took to build a Service DSL for WCF and ACA.NET (Avanade Connected Architectures for .NET), the framework on which Entlib is based (see Help->About in the Entlib configuration tool).

For a couple of reasons it took much longer to get this published on MSDN, it was originally planned for the Architecture Journal #9. That is the bad news, the good news is that is is finally here. Bear in mind that this paper was originally written in Mid 2006.

I'd appreciate it if you leave comments on this blogpost, if you have any after reading the paper.

WCF Webcast time

The authors of Pro WCF have planned two WCF Webcasts. These webcasts fit into the Microsoft APIO (Application Platform Infrastructure Optimization) initiave.

  1. Webcast 1 - “How to build an SOA application with WCF”
  2. Webcast 2 - "How WCF impacts on Enterprise scale applications"
Free Chapter: Hosting and Consuming WCF Services on MSDN!

We just published our first MSDN article relating to the Pro WCF Book. It is currently being selected to headline Microsoft .Net 3.0 Development Centre homepage! This is a customized version of chapter 5 of the book of which I was the main author.
