Introduction to PRISM
This course provides an introduction to the Prism 4.0 framework and its application to WPF, Silverlight, and Windows Phone 7 programs.
What you'll learn
In this course you will learn how to design and build Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications, Silverlight Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), and Windows Phone 7 applications using loosely coupled components that can evolve independently but which can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the overall application. This is an introductory course that concentrates on the basic concepts required to build a composite application with the Microsoft Patterns and Practices Prism 4.0 framework which includes the boostrapper, regions, modules, view composition, and different techniques for communicating between loosely couple components.
