Design Guidelines and Patterns and Practices Summit

  • Artigo

I am looking forwarding to doing the keynote at the Pattern and Practices Summit today. I thought for a while about what to do… I have been into the Ajax thing recently and it is very cool, but ultimately I decided the real timeless information I had to share was going back to my roots in Framework design. Working with Krzysztof Cwalina, I distilled down 7+ years of framework design experience into 5 key principles. While these principles have a specific application to framework design, what I think makes them even more relevant to this audience it that I have seen broad applicability to software design and development as well. Not to mention I have some fun pictures and analogies ;-)

 

· Treat Simplicity as a Feature

· Know Your User

· Think Development Ecosystem

· Use the Power of Consistency

· Design to Last

 

Attached are the slides… I’d love to hear you thoughts and feedback…. Feel free to leverage the content in your own work, but I’d appreciate a reference.

    Cool presentation. Very clear and to-the-point. I specially liked the ReadAllTextFromAFileIntoAStringArray story. One thing, though. On page 7, If you want to give a simple way to reuse the stopwatch, you should have supplied a watch.Restart() method ...

In fact I follow you from the "Designing .NET Class Libraries" a bit old but completely useful for every developer !!! http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa497250.aspx And after some time I realize myself how important is to know that stuff.

    Hello, Great presentation. I was wondering if you had recorded your session and whether it is available for download. I would have loved to show your talk to our lead developers in this company.
