PRISM-Video Series

Although I plan to write my own articles about  the topic, however this time I am in  some sort of hurry to get started with development, so i am relying on Microsoft resources to get me(and of-course you) started.

PRSM, as you will find across the web, is nothing more than guidelines for developing modular applications(Component based appications).
This in simple terms, means creating loosely coupled applications that follow SOLID principles laid down in Microsoft patterns and practices book.

PRISM relies on  Unity framework (downloadable from codeplex).
Details about the installation and sample code, quickstarts are a part of the download.

Briefly , PRISM (via UNITY) requires the code to have the following Components and their Co-ordinated efforts results in Modular application
1. Bootstrapper
2. Shell
3. Regions
4. Modules
5. Views

This Simple diagram depicts how they interact with each-other or rather how they should actaully interact.
in the diagram IOC = Inversion of Control

Theoretically this looks good,
Now lets go through these videos(9 parts) to better understand PRISM.
Part 1


Part 2-Dependency  Injection with Unity


 Part 3-Modularity with Prism



Part 4-Unity BootStrapper



Part 5-Moving to Modular Silverlight Project



Part-6-Shells, Regions, Views


Part-7-Commands



Part 8-Loosely Coupled Events



Part 9-Sharing Data with Region Contexts

Hope this tutorial is useful...
Till next time we connect...
Happy Learning.
