For developers: design patterns for Windows Mobile released - Mobile Client Software Factory
July 24, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.

Design patterns is a technique of software development, where some templates and predefined specific ways of solving problems are being used to develop new software.

The Mobile Client Software Factory provides integrated guidance to help architects and developers create line-of-business Windows Mobile applications that interact with back-end systems over networks such as WiFi and GPRS that might be intermittently available.

A mobile smart client line-of-business application has one or more of the following characteristics:
  • It has a rich user interface that takes advantage of the power of the Windows Mobile device.
  • It might use a gateway server and the most cost effective underlying network technology to connect to and exchange data with multiple back-end systems.
  • It takes advantage of local caching and processing to enable operation during periods of no network connectivity or intermittent network connectivity.
  • It is easily deployed and configured.
  • It helps to keep local, potentially confidential information secure.
  • The Mobile Client Software Factory provides extensive guidance, including patterns, step-by-step instructions (How-to topics), sample application source code (reference implementation), reusable components (Application Blocks), a Guidance Automation Toolkit package that automates common mobile client development tasks in Visual Studio, and architecture documentation.
Dependencies:

1. The Guidance Automation Extensions (June 2006 Release for Visual Studio 2005)
