Extensibility: Software That Survives

Miguel Castro

*** We're very fortunate to have one of the most popular speakers in our industry come to speak to our user group this month -- Miguel Castro! We were able to secure a larger room for this presentation with the help of Telerik. Telerik's Carl Bergenhem will be doing a special presentation on some of their great new tools, starting at promptly 6:00 PM, and pizza is limited, so PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY! We will also be raffling off some great Telerik software! ***

Here's Miguel's abstract:

Every year, we're bombarded with new terms to confuse and overwhelm us. Most of them redefine techniques we've seen and used before. In this session, I'll cover some of my favorite patterns that today, fall under the category of "inversion of control", and "dependency injection". I call them providers and plug-ins but under any other name, they're patterns that allow you to design your applications with extensibility and decoupling in mind. This session will also explain the concept of abstraction and why its vital in order understand how to design applications that can grow with time. Come and join me in rethinking software design in a new day and age. In this updated version of this session, I'll also show you a cool extensibility framework that I wrote that incorporates the patterns I'm showing you in a very cool and easy fashion. Look out MEF, here comes MAC!
