3. WinForms?

4. WTF, Dmitri?

5. A SDLC as an Ironman triathlon

7. Clients need to get to a mindset
where the business impact is figured
out

8. XAF as the swimming pool
• Focuses on the business domain and domaindriven design (DDD)
• WinForms and ASP.NET are incompatible with
new technologies, but the model transfers
• Clients don’t get hung up on UI
implementation
• Fast and ugly is key

9. Key technology details
• No code generation, run-time resolution
• XML-based UI configuration
• Both WinForms and ASP.NET projects at the
same time
• Mobile DevExtreme framework integration
• Build the business logic and UI follows

10. …one last thing…

11. Companion Mobile Framework
• DevExtreme
• Develop in HTML5/JS for
Android/iOS/Windows Phone/Tizen
• Device simulators in Visual Studio
• Don’t need additional DE’s to create
deployable packages (No Macs for iOS)
• Knockout and Angular MVVM
