Cool!, just a few days ago (Thu Sep 25 2008) Microsoft P&P have published a neat ‘Application Architecture Guide’ (v.2.0). It is great because “it is new”, so it covers most of the new Microsoft dev technologies and application\/architecture types we’re dealing with, nowadays. \ud83d\ude42<\/P>\n

– Mobile Application Archetype
– Rich Client Application Archetype
– Rich Internet Application Archetype (RIA)
– Services Application Archetype
– Web Application Archetype<\/EM><\/STRONG> <\/P>\n
