I've started the exploration of SCSF today. My trusty guide to this journey is a white paper, titled Designing Applications using CAB and SCSF, written by a software house in Austria.

The document is a good introduction to the software factory. It got me as far as customizing the shell, creating a foundation module, and getting started on the business module...

... and then I got stumped trying to understand all the other things that it didn't explain in detail, in particular, the Composite UI Application Block (CAB).

I thought that diving straight into SCSF will get me to understand quicker in passing. It seems more like understanding CAB is a prerequisite, since most of the customizations and coding are done at the CAB layer.

I'll post more on this soon, as I learn it myself. I need to step back and look at the walkthroughs of CAB now before continuing my first SCSF app.
