Vision

A story that customers get. A story around MS for howto put the platform Legos together from an application

architecture standpoint .

Platform playbook for building apps. A thin guide thatframes out the application architecture space and mapsrelevant principles, patterns, and practices for applicationtypes, layers, quality attributes and technologies.

KB of App Arch Nuggets. A thick, browsableknowledge base (KB) of guidelines, how tos, checklists,patterns, videos etc.

Successful Customers. Solution Architects, developerleads, and developers are confident and competent

building applications on the .NET platform. Customersusing J2EE / competitive platforms can build effectivesolutions on the .NET platform.

Key Features of the Guide

4

Canonical app frame - describes at a meta-level, the tiers and layers that an architect shouldconsider. Each tier/layer will be described in terms of its focus, function, capabilities, common

design patterns and technologies.

App Types - 5-7 canonical application archetypes to illustrate common application types. Eacharchetype will be described in terms of the target scenarios, technologies, patterns andinfrastructure it contains. Each archetype will be mapped to the canonical app frame. They areillustrative of common app types and not comprehensive or definitive.

Arch Frame - a common set of categories for hot spots for key engineering decisions.

Quality Attributes - a set of qualities/abilities that shape your application architecture:performance, security, scalability, manageability, deployment, communication, etc.

Principles, patterns and practices - using the frames as backdrops, the guide will overlayrelevant principles, patterns, and practices.

Technologies and capabilities - a description/overview of the Microsoft custom app devplatform and the main technologies and capabilities within it.
