Software Factories resurface as "Blueprints"

 

Back on 25th October, I said.......

Steve Cook is co-author of seminal book on Software Factories : : Assembling Applications with Patterns, Models, Frameworks, and Tools, together with Jack Greenfield, Keith Short & Stuart Kent.  After a drought of over 2 years, Keith Short has surfaced to tell us he's been working on Oslo, so I wonder if Jack has also?  Has the software factory initiative morphed into Oslo?

Well, not quite.........

Just notes for now

Andre Furtado - PhD Candidate (UFPE), Software Engineer (Microsoft Corporation) has a Codeplex project - Feature Model DSL.  This is based on the Feature Model DSL in the Practical Software Factories in .NET by Gunther Lenz and Christoph Wienands.  Haven't run it yet, 'cos the installer said I needed VB :-(
