Johnston Business Solutions - Generic Enterprise Framework

Project Description
Generic Enterprise Framework - a work in progress. This is my attempt to create a flexible, configurable enterprise architecture using best practices and patterns. This project uses the Unity Framework (Microsoft Enterprise Library 4.1), Windows Communication Foundation, and more

This is my effort at developing a service-oriented enterprise framework that can speed the development of business applications.

Features:

• ADO.NET Entity Framework (3.5)
• Microsoft Enterprise Library (4.1)
• Inversion of Control (via Unity Application Block 1.2)
• Repository Pattern
• WCF Services
• Client Application Services
• and more...

Goals:

• Leverage .NET 3.5+ features
• Develop a reusable framework with loose coupling between components
• Follow best practices
• Constantly tweak and refactor to make improvements
• Implement new features as they become available (i.e. released and learned)

Roadmap:

• Add ASP.NET MVC site as another front-end, leveraging the existing service model
• Implement POCO (provider-ignorant) objects with ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.0

Databases:
This project currently references 3 databases:
