MS Open Sources the Halo Framework!
Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that they would be contributing "Project Orleans" to their open-source initiative.
Project Orleans is built on .NET
"Project Orleans" is the framework that powers "Halo 4" and is used extensively in the Azure cloud It's REALLY good at scaling Based on the "Actor Model" -- Concurrent computing objects that can communicate with one another Unlike Classes... "Orleans Actors" are automatically instantiated and they ALWAYS exist. The Open Sourcing will be available by early 2015
Microsoft Research will release the code under an MIT license Posted on GitHubMVVM
In 2004, Martin Fowler published an article about a pattern named Presentation Model (PM). MVVM is identical to Fowler's Presentation Model, in that both patterns feature an abstraction of a View, which contains a View's state and behavior.
Fowler introduced Presentation Model as a means of creating a UI platform-independent abstraction of a View, whereas John Gossman introduced MVVM as a standardized way to leverage core features of WPF to simplify the creation of user interfaces.
In that sense, I consider MVVM to be a specialization of the more general PM pattern.
Since 2005, MVVM has become more general and more frameworks.
