Service Factory, aka Web Service Software Factory, nee Service BAT

Some days ago I already hinted at it - now it is more or less official. Also Beat, Edward, Matias, Jason and others already blogged about it.

I am part of the 'Service Factory' advisory board and we think that this may evolve into something really useful - we will see, we still have a looong way to go ;) What is now available to download is really just a very early snapshot of our thoughts and work.

The Service Factory is a cohesive collection of various forms of guidance that have been build with the primary goal of helping you build high quality connected solutions in a more consistent way with less effort.
In addition to the forms of guidance you may have already seen from the patterns & practices team, there is a new form of guidance in here, called a guidance package, that allows guidance to be automated from inside Visual Studio 2005 through the use of wizard-based dialogs than can be modified (maybe by an architect) to fit the needs of a specific solution.

If you're axious to learn more, feel free to join the community workspace so you can download the current build and engage in the message board discussions. It is very important you understand all of the releases you will find on this site are not final in any way. They have not yet undergone the complete array of performance and security tests, so we recommend you treat this as beta guidance.

The patterns & practices team is fortunate to have been working very closely with a select few expert advisors over the past months to get the project where it is today..

Because the Service BAT project encapsulates end-to-end scenarios of building services, we expect a flurry of excellent discussions about everything from service design to entity persistence ... and we're very much looking forward to it. Don't be shy! Join.
