Hi Bob, Blaine;

Thanks for the video. As you have more videos, could you please list them on the Codeplex site till you get your official sites?

Couple of questions:
a) We should be seeing the early bits of SL3 [hopefully] soon, and I'm planning to use SL3 for some new projects. How soon do you think you'll bring Prsim 2 to SL3?

b) SL is more and more moving towards of becoming a better contender for providing LoB (Line of Business) applications, and that's one of the reason for me moving on to SL3. Does Prism 2 guidelines for developing Database driven applications?

Thanks!
..Ben

Ben,

Good feedback on creating a page that lists the videos. We will create a page on either Codeplex or MSDN that lists the videos.

a) We will look at providing SL3 in a version that should ship sometime in fall 2009. We will start the project this summer. So stay tuned to my blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/blaine.

b) We did not cover database driven applications in Prism 2.0. What type of guidelines are you looking for? Depending on what you are looking for we may cover it in a future version of Prism or it may be another deliverable from patterns & practices.

Thanks for questions.

I'd like to see the documentation released as both a CHM and word doc. There is so much information to try to digest that I would like to add my own highlighting and comments.
