CSLA .NET Roadmap

 

From time to time people ask about the future of CSLA .NET. The following is my current best estimate in terms of plans:

	Release (est)	Description
CSLA .NET 3.5	Released	Integrates support for .NET 3.5 - specifically LINQ, and Visual Studio 2008. Also includes many items from the wish list. See the change log for details.
CSLA Light	Q3 2008	Client-only version of CSLA that can run inside the Silverlight 2.0 sandbox/environment. Will interoperate with CSLA .NET 3.6 on an ASP.NET server.
CSLA .NET 3.6	Q3 2008	Update to version 3.5 that will incorporate support for CSLA Light. This version will probably also include enhanced support for indexed LINQ queries against collections and possibly other general enhancements.
Expert C# 2008 Business Objects	Late 2008	The third edition of my Expert Business Objects book series, covering CSLA .NET 3.5: both the creation of the framework and how to use it to build applications.
Expert VB 2008 Business Objects	Q1 2009	The third edition of my Expert Business Objects book series, covering CSLA .NET 3.5: both the creation of the framework and how to use it to build applications.
Using CSLA Light 3.6	Q2 2009	An ebook covering the use of CSLA Light to create Silverlight applications.
CSLA .NET and Windows Forms	Q2 2009	An ebook covering the use of CSLA .NET 3.6 when creating a Windows Forms UI.
CSLA .NET and ASP.NET MVC	Q3 2009	An ebook covering the use of CSLA .NET 3.6 when creating an ASP.NET MVC UI.

Please note that nothing here is a guarantee or promise of future releases. The content and version numbers may change based on many factors. What you see here reflects my current thinking only.
