OO/Patterns and MS

According to Edgar Sanchez, Martin Fowler is now starting to use C# examples in his book (thanks for the tip about the book Edgar!).

I agree that this helps C# to be more accepted in OO communities because of Fowler's "embrace". But. Are there any active community working with oo-theory and pattern languages for the Microsoft platform? I haven't found any.

A gotdotnet workspace were created for this puropse. I joined Architectural Repository but with only 15 postings in 3 months it seemed pretty useless.

I've also skimmed through most of MSDN and found just about 3 or 4 interesting articles related to patterns and architecture. They are working on it though. http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture and http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices  are the places Microsoft wants us to use for this purpose.

MSDN has also a "call for architectural papers" out there that will probably remove the [coming soon!] tag from their Patterns link.

I've started a bit myself in implementing some patterns in C# to identify variations and possibilities. I would like to share. Where?

  • By the time MS developers find how to use patterns (and OO stuff as well) properly, it will be already 2200!!!





    But if they want to do it, please, can anyone post a .NET version of the singleton pattern able to run on a cluster???





    Cheers!!!
