Design Guidelines and Patterns and Practices Summit

I am looking forwarding to doing the keynote at the Pattern and Practices Summit today.  I thought for a while about what to do… I have been into the Ajax thing recently and it is very cool, but ultimately  I decided the real timeless information I had to share was going back to my roots in Framework design.  Working with Krzysztof Cwalina, I distilled down 7+ years of framework design experience into 5 key principles.  While these principles have a specific application to framework design, what I think makes them even more relevant to this audience it that I have seen broad applicability to software design and development as well.  Not to mention I have some fun pictures and analogies ;-) 

 

·         Treat Simplicity as a Feature

·         Know Your User

·         Think Development Ecosystem

·         Use the Power of Consistency

·         Design to Last

 

Attached are the slides… I’d love to hear you thoughts and feedback…. Feel free to leverage the content in your own work, but I’d appreciate a reference.

Cool presentation. Very clear and to-the-point.

I specially liked the ReadAllTextFromAFileIntoAStringArray story.

One thing, though. On page 7, If you want to give a simple way to reuse the stopwatch, you should have supplied a watch.Restart() method ...

In your great guidelines  !!!

In fact I follow you from the "Designing .NET Class Libraries"

And after some time I realize myself how important is to know that stuff.

Cheers, thanks and keep in the good work.

Dude, that is some GOOD stuff.  You guys are the GLUE that keeps .NET together.  I'm usually of the Don Box mind that Pointpoint should be banned by the Geneva convention, but WOW... you have a great presentation here!

Hello,

Great presentation. I was wondering if you had recorded your session and whether it is available for download.

I would have loved to show your talk to our lead developers in this company.
