Design, MVVM, & Coroutines

If you missed the MIX conference, I highly suggest you watch some of the sessions available.  Two of my favorite were Robby Ingebretsen’s “10 Ways to Attack a Design Problem and Come out Winning” and Rob Eisenberg’s “Build Your Own MVVM Framework”.

10 Ways to Attack a Design Problem and Come out Winning

Rob build a small framework that demonstrated a pattern of coroutines to simplify asynchronous programming.  I HIGHLY recommend watching his session and looking at the code.  Jeremy Likness has made a couple of posts (Part 1, Part2)  to further what Rob demonstrated in his talk.  Part two is a simplified version of Part 1.  Enjoy!
