Smart Client Baseline Architecture Toolkit
The Smart Client Baseline Architecture Toolkit is worth taking a look at.
Although they are just getting started with this, it has the potential of being a really good learning tool and is worth taking a look at now, and following it as the team builds onto it.
From the Toolkit's Documentation overview:
The Smart Client Baseline Architecture Toolkit provides a range of tools that offer many benefits for architects and developers of smart client applications and components. It is an integrated collection of tools, patterns, source code, and prescriptive instructions that guide developers throughout the development process.
Typically, architects and developers identify and discover the best practices and patterns in a new domain during application development. As patterns and practices are discovered, the applications must be refactored to maintain consistency. When communication between development teams is low, each team incurs the cost of discovering and refactoring. Even then, different applications often embody different standards and practices. Alternatively, development teams can investigate and attempt to identify best practices and patterns before starting a development project in a new domain. This can be a time consuming and difficult activity, as patterns and practices are most easily identified during actual application development.
With the VS Guidance Package for Smart Client Development, architects and developers can quickly incorporate many of the best practices and patterns of smart client development. These practices and patterns were identified during the development of many smart client applications and components.
The guidance package allows architects and developers to focus their efforts on the business problems at hand and to create smart client applications that effectively address those problems.
