Convener: Phil Dennis @pjdennis
I have just finished rolling out a small smart-client app to production, and hosting a discussion on Smart Client architecture in light of that experience. The technologies I used:
- POCO domain model
- NHibernate for data access
- Service layer exposed using WCF
- WPF with MVC architecture for client-side presentation
As a starting point for discussion, here are some "rules" for Smart Client development. These are things we get "for free" to some extent, in web applications:
- All access to external resources should Be done via a physically separate service layer:
- Enables proper security
- Enables scalability
- Simplifies deployment
- No out-of-process calls from within UI event handlers
- Goal: responsive user interface
- Implementation: Asynchronous access to the service layer
