- 2. Brief History of Caliburn.MicroI use it. I’m a fanBased on the mature Caliburn projectCreated by Rob EisenbergGrew from Rob’s MIX10 talk “Build Your Own MVVM Framework”Around 2,000 lines of codeMade public July 2010Now the mainline
- 3. Caliburn.Micro Elevator SpeechA better version of what nearly every WPF veteran has attempted to home-growReduces the drudgery of property binding and commands Simplifies building a deeply composed UIHelps unify the programming models of WPF, Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 Simplifies asynchronous programmingBuilt in Tombstone & Resurrection for WP7Small enough to grok and to “own”
- 4. Important TermsMVVM (Model-View-ViewModel)Convention over ConfigurationEvent Aggregator (pub-sub)CoroutinesBootstrapper
- 5. The GameLibrary Demo Run the demo fool
- 6. The GameLibrary Demo Wow that was fun!Rob’s “Game Library” sample from “Build you won MVVM Framework” talk was the inspiration for Caliburn.Micro. After Caliburn.Micro was made public Marco Amendola ported the Game Library sample to Caliburn.Micro.
