Introduction Defining a LOB Application

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Wikipedia: A line-of-business application is one of the set of critical computer applications that are vital to running an enterprise

Introduction Defining a LOB Application The following 5 characteristics:

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Interactive: LOB Applications are interactive by nature. Data is entered, and results/reports are returned.

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Composable: LOB applications tend to have one or more parts that compose the user interface. These parts may interact with each other as needed.

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Data Driven: LOB applications are data intensive. Many live “close” to the database, and access frequently.

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Integrated: LOB applications often integrate with other systems. These can be a variety of data feeds, either within or outside the organization.

Introduction Defining a LOB Application Extensible: LOB applications are extensible by nature. They often support add-ons or plug-ins used to tailor an application or make deployment easier.

Session Objectives What are you going to get from this session? Explore each characteristic to help you apply to your own application Give you the details of what’s new in each of these areas Show through demos how we are supporting these new features

Interactive Entering data and getting results

Interactive Entering data and getting results Back to 1994 “How do I get this TAB order working?”

Interactive Entering data and getting results Since then... Better forms, many controls, better output, great reporting solutions, voice command, etc.

Interactive Entering data and getting results How about now? What am I excited about now? NUI (Natural User Input), specifically touch

Interactive Entering data and getting results Is touch going to replace the mouse and keyboard?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Touch augments the Windows experience. Every input method has it’s pros and cons – no input method is ideal for everything.

Interactive Entering data and getting results Are we really seeing devices that support touch?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Device Availability HP TouchSmart IQ504 PC DELL Latitude XT2 (Intel Core 2 Duo T5750) (Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400)

Interactive Entering data and getting results Is touch supported in Windows 7?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Gesture Single Multi Gesture Action Action Touch Touch Press on target, tap Press and Tap with other finger Yes Two fingers Zoom apart/together Yes Two fingers in Rotate opposing direction Yes Two Finger Tap Tap two fingers Yes Wait for blue ring and Press and Hold release Yes Yes Flicks Quick drag gestures Yes Yes

Interactive Entering data and getting results What you get for free Panning and Zooming, Right Click Gestures

Interactive Entering data and getting results Minimal Incremental Work Use WM_GESTURE Win32 API to trap gesture notifications, handle pan, zoom, and rotate

Interactive Entering data and getting results Best Experience Use WM_TOUCH Win32 API to handle raw touch data, manipulation, and inertia processors

Interactive Entering data and getting results Does this relate to “Surface”?

Interactive Entering data and getting results How about other input mechanisms?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Many other sensors exist today – but can be difficult…

Interactive Entering data and getting results e.g. to use a GPS, your application has to be device specific

Interactive Entering data and getting results How is this supported?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Windows 7 Sensor and Location Platform

Interactive Entering data and getting results Sensor Type Sensor Placement Typical Use GPS Built into, or attached to, computer Location and orientation Accelerometer Built into computer or attached to computer Motion and orientation Proximity Built in or nearby to the computer Presence and spatial awareness Light Built in, nearby, or remote Ambient light conditions RFID Built into the computer or attached to person Identification of physical items Compass Attached to person Orientation Camera Built into the computer or attached Recording, object identification, facial recognition Microphone Built into the computer or attached Ambient noise conditions Temperature Built into the computer or remote Indoor/Outdoor Ambient Temperature, cooking temperature Moisture Remote Detection of water leaks, garden sprinkler systems Motion Detector Built into the computer or remote Security systems, presense Traffic Remote, usually public Travel time predictions Weather station Remote, usually public Weather conditions and predictions

Interactive Entering data and getting results Single API call to answer questions – e.g. “Where am I?”

Interactive Entering data and getting results How does this work?

Interactive Entering data and getting results Your Application Location API Sensor API Sensor Class Sensor Class Extension Extension UMDF Sensor Driver UMDF Sensor Driver

Interactive Entering data and getting results But, what if I want to create Office documents?

Interactive Entering data and getting results “Old way” is to use the Application Object Model

Interactive Entering data and getting results …but: Need local copy of Office installed on server… Does not scale… Try running automation on 100s of documents… Dialog boxes “stop” automation… Have to reboot application on server every X hours…

Interactive Entering data and getting results Open XML SDK 2.0

Interactive Entering data and getting results How does the Open XML SDK work?

Interactive Takeaways NUI is, and will, enhance LOB applications Getting results and reports is becoming easier Taking advantage of multi-core is within reach

Composable Designing and composing the user interface

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Back to 1994 With my old application, testing was “giving the application to the user”

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Since then... Increased focus on test driven development (TDD) and unit testing

Composable Designing and composing the user interface How about now? What am I excited about now? A renewed effort on making UIs more composable and testable

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Hasn’t it been difficult to test the UI?

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Patterns, such as MVC, help address these concerns

Composable Designing and composing the user interface But what should I use? MVC, MVP, PM, MVVM?

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVC - Designed to separate concerns for request/response type UIs

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVC (Model View Controller) Add a new customer to the model Model Please add a new Triggers update customer… Controller of the view Controller Reloads View View

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVC is a great pattern for Web Applications

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVC (Model View Controller) Add a new customer to the model Model http://localhost/customer/add (POST) Please add a new Reads number of customer… Controller customers “Done - you now have 20 customers” Controller Reloads View View

Composable Designing and composing the user interface ASP.NET MVC Does not use ViewState or Server Based Forms Extendable Front Controller pattern Project Support for TDD

Composable Designing and composing the user interface ASP.NET Web Forms ViewState to persist state across many components Page Controller Pattern Less complex, but more difficult to test

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Windows applications are less about request/response, and more interactive

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVP (Model View Presenter) Request Presenter From Updates View Model Please add a new customer… View Presenter Model Presenter Model Updates Confirms View Change

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Modified version of MVP (Fowler) to handle data binding and code behind

Composable Designing and composing the user interface PM (PresentationModel) Request Presenter From Updates View Model Please add a new Presentation customer… View Model Model DataBinding Model Confirms Change

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVP and PM are patterns that can be used with Windows Forms, WPF, and Silverlight

Composable Designing and composing the user interface PM (PresentationModel) Request Presenter From Updates Fill out fields and click on “Add” button View Model Please add a new Presentation customer… View Model Model Data Driven field for # DataBinding Model of customers Confirms now in system Change

Composable Designing and composing the user interface However, XAML also supports any item to be data bound to any other item in either direction

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Events in XAML bound to objects (vs. having code behind) e.g. button binds to object.add() XAML Object Objects bind to XAML visual elements e.g. object.customername binds to XAML Editbox

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVVM (Model View ViewModel) ViewModel Updates Model Please add a new customer… View ViewModel Model DataBinding Model Confirms Change

Composable Designing and composing the user interface MVVM can be realized in WPF and Silverlight through PRISM

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Host Shell Shell Region Presenter Modules Validation View ViewModel Model Styles / Themes Module Shared Styles / Themes

Composable Designing and composing the user interface You mention WPF and Silverlight? What’s new when it comes to LOB applications?

Composable Designing and composing the user interface WPF 4.0 Windows 7 Support MultiTouch, Taskbar, DWrite Fundamentals Full trust XBAP, text rendering, data binding for DynamicObject, WPF Ribbon controls Design Experience Improved in Visual Studio and lessons learned from implementing Visual Studio in WPF

Composable Designing and composing the user interface Silverlight 3.0 RIA Productivity Improved controls, SEO enhancements, accessibility Out of Browser Both Win and Mac, isolated storage, auto update Design Tooling Expression Blend, SketchFlow, TFS integration, sample data

Composable Designing and composing the user interface What do we take away from this section?

Composable Takeaways Put some time in learning MVC, MVP, PM, MVVM MVVM can be implemented in Silverlight and WPF using PRISM New features such as Silverlight OOB for LOB applications
