SD Architecture & Design World 2008
I will present at the Architecture and Design World 2008 in Chicago this July. My topic will include my experiences implementing Software Factories and the effect on software product development.
Furthermore I will take a look into the Crystal Ball to see what the future might (or might not) has in store......
See you there ;-)

Product Line Talk in Johannesburg
On Jan. 25th I was talking to 80 developers in Johannesburg about Software Product Lines. The event was hosted by Microsoft in Johannesburg and the feedback from the atendees was great.
JC Oberholzer presented the solution of his company SDT which is an implementation of a product line which gave some meat to the theory......

SAW 2008
I attended the Software Architecture Workshop (SAW) in South Africa from Jan. 21st until Jan. 24th in Bakubung. The topics this year ranged from team management, OSGI, project estimation, AOP, to Design Patterns. As usual the workshop was hold in the OpenSpace format and was very intense. The discussions continued during breaks on the game drive and at the bar until late at night. As usual, it was a great event with hand selected top experts and obviously a lot of fun.

Implementation of DSL's
We sucessfully implemented a prototype of a DSL for managing tasks for one of our internal customers. The results are fantastic and you will be able to see the evaluation of the project soon published.....
Microsoft Conference in South Africa
On Jan 25, I will hold a presentation on the Software Factories work we do in Johannesburg, South Africa with other presenters from the SAW.
Business Case For Software Factories
I am working on a new article about the Business Value of Software Factories.......
In this article we will discuss our approach, the difficulties we encountered, and the quantitative results of building a thin, vertical slice of a system using the Software Factory approach. The goal of this work was showing the quantitative measurable business value of introducing the Software Factories paradigm in a large enterprise development project.
Introduction
Why Software Factories? This is a question we frequently get asked from many of our clients when introducing our work. While it seems obvious that increased reuse, higher level of abstraction and increased automation provides advantages to today’s text based software development efforts, it is not enough to justify the necessary upfront investment to upper management and other stakeholders. Therefore, we started to look for quantitative data would clearly show the business case for using this paradigm. ......
Stay tuned, you will be able to find this article online soon.... Probably on MSDN....

Factory as a pattern
After extensive discussions with Jack and Wojtek we decided to use the form of a pattern to describe a Software Factory. We believe this will provide a nice structured form to explain the Software Factory.
Furthermore we will use SCBAT from the Patterns Group as a basis for our case study..... This will be exciting.....

Book release July '06
Gunther Lenz and Christoph Wienands, in collaboration with Jack Greenfield, are working on a book with the preliminary title "Practical Software Factories in .NET" which we plan to release in May 2006.
