The Microsoft Patterns & Practices team announced the release of the Web Service Software Factory. Reading their postings, the group's also working the Smart Client Software Factory and has released the Mobile Client Software Factory. These software factories are pushing well beyond the Visual Studio Enterprise Templates and I'm really impressed with the P&P groups effort.
The other really cool news is that the download includes all of the source. The fully customizable software factory ships with existing documentation, guidance packages and reference implementations. And unlike the Mobile Client Software Factory, the Web Service Software Factory does a solid job of delivering an end-to-end software factory implementation. I look forward to seeing more!!
