Writing an n-Tier Windows Form application
Earlier this week, Jason Beres presented a talk on Writing an n-Tier Windows Form application for the East of Toronto .NET User Group. Jason is the mastermind behind Infragistic's Tracker application (he is Infragistic's Chief Technology Evangelist). Before the meeting, we had a nice chat about book authoring and the MVP Program - Jason wrote several titles including the C# Bible, Visual Basic .NET Bible and Visual Studio .NET 2003 in 21 days.
One of the key value points I got from his talk was how to leverage Application Blocks (they are available on the Pattern and Practices website). He gave good code sample using the exceptionManagement block.
I'll be heading up a MCAD/MCSD certification group in about a month or so. If you are near the Durham region and would like to participate, please sign up here. Microsoft will be supplying each participant with a "MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Learning Kit".
