Here we go:

@My Students

There are continued confusions about the requirements of your project.  After my first lecture I defined the details. (see post from 12^th October 2010). The specifications are still in effect and they remain unchanged:

[BOX_START]Specifications for you application

• Server Side: C# 4, ASP.NET MVC 2 and Entity Framework 4
• Client Side:
  • Silverlight 4 OR
  • HTML + jQuery OR
  • Ext.JS with or without Ext.NET (formerly known as Coolite)
• Team size: max 3 people *

[BOX_STOP]

[BOX_START]As you see, Silverlight is NOT required!
It is only essential for your SketchFlow Prototype! (Every team has to provide a dedicated prototype!)

Free ebook: Programming Windows Phone 7, by Charles Petzold

This book is a gift from the Windows Phone 7 team at Microsoft to the programming community.
The books shows you the basics of writing applications for Windows Phone 7 using the C# programming language with the Silverlight and XNA 2D frameworks.

This book is divided into three parts:

The first part discusses basic concepts of Windows Phone 7 programming using example programs that target both Silverlight and the XNA framework.
The second part of this book focuses entirely on Silverlight, and the third part on XNA 2D.

For my colleagues at work I evaluated the Simple Event Broker from the Patterns and Practices team. In my opinion this extension is a very valuable piece of software!

To learn more about the Event Broker, you should read:

• An introduction by Randy Patterson
• A walkthrough based on the “StopLight” example  at MSDN

I made a small sample solution, based on my “WebNoteMvc” project.

The scenario is easy: I want my repositories (or services) to be loosely coupled. In my database foreign references are used. So before I delete data from one repository other repositories should get a notice. The related repositories are now forced to delete their own related data from the DB to keep the data integrity.

We are going to continue with the slides from last lecture.
I will give you a lot of space for questions and to conduct experiments with your code!
