Acropolis: The Future Of Windows Client Development

By Brian Pautsch – 6/21/2007 2:21:36 PM. Posted to Code Snippets.

Microsoft has released the Acropolis CTP, a set of tools and components that help developers quickly assemble applications from loosely-coupled parts and services. With Acropolis you will be able to:

  • Quickly create WPF enabled user experiences for your client applications.
  • Build client applications from reusable, connectable, modules that allow you to easily create complex, business-focused applications in less time.
  • Integrate and host your modules in applications such as Microsoft Office, or quickly build stand-alone client interfaces.
  • Change the look and feel of your application quickly using built-in themes, or custom designs using XAML.
  • Add features such as workflow navigation and user-specific views with minimal coding.
  • Manage, update, and deploy your application modules quickly and easily.

David Hill has put together a short video walkthrough of using Acropolis:
