MS Pattern & Practices Enterprise Development Reference Architecture
The Enterprise Development Reference Architecture (EDRA, formerly known as "Shadowfax") is a new MS patterns & practices deliverable that has been openly developed with community input via the GotDotNet website. EDRA is a sort of 'uber' application block that provides a framework for developing distributed applications on the .NET platform. The PAG team developed the EDRA after talking with customers and reviewing solutions that were developed to solve similar problems on both the Microsoft® .NET and J2EE platforms. I will be giving an overview of the architecture & design of the EDRA framework itself, what it was developed for, and if time permits, a demo of a sample application running on top of it.
Peter Laudati, Microsoft Consulting Services
Peter has been working most recently with a customer using the Enterprise Development Reference Architecture (EDRA) from the Microsoft's Patterns & Practices group in Redmond, WA. He also worked on the Patterns & Practices publication "Application Interoperability: Microsoft .NET and J2EE". This book covers interoperability technologies, interoperability design elements, and features a reference application developed on both the .NET Framework and J2EE.
