Is the introduction of these new technologies going to change the way that
CAB works or will CAB still use basically the same architecture?

Bill
 
CAB is an unsupported Patterns and Practices guideline which is destined
for the scrap-heap.

Before you cry out in pain don't despair. CAB promotes many excellent
practices including a great deal of architectural and pattern usage
guidance. In particular the Dependency Injection system.

The lessons learned from CAB are currently being built into the new
application framework Acropolis which is in an early CTP form at the
moment but which will have great influence on future application
development systems, especially in the Orcas time-frame.

In my day job we have used CAB extensively and are currently studying
the Acropolis migration path which, Microsoft assures me, will be
relatively painless.

The reason that I ask is that Microsoft Press has just published a book on
CAB that looks interesting but if CAB is dead or dying, is it even worth
purchasing the book and getting into CAB for an upcoming project?

Bill
 
My opinion; Yes.

The migration route from CAB to Acropolis is supposed to be smooth.

I do consulting work fo a world renowned bank and we have based a lot of our
technology on CAB for this very reason.
