Composite applications with MEF and Prism, a winning combination

For a while now we've been talking about Composite Applications as a great approach for building applications that can evolve over time. To date, the .NET platform itself has provided very little support for such patterns. The void has been filled through the patterns & pracitces team with Composite UI guidance such as Prism. With the introduction of the Managed Extensibility Framework in .NET 4 and Silverlight 4 all that has changed. Wiht MEF, composability is now a first class member of the platform! MEF doesn't cancel out Prism they are a winning combination. Prism v4 leverages MEF under the covers to take composite applications to the next level. Come to this talk and we'll talk about MEF, Prism and the awesome chemistry they have when you combine them.
