Fundamentals of the Managed Extensibility Framework

The term "enterprise" seems to inspire images of complex, large, difficult-to-maintain software systems but a well-written system doesn't have to suffer from the extra complexity. The first project I completed reaches past Silverlight and addresses a framework I believe was game-changing when introduced with .NET 4.0: the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). I have since used it in projects ranging from SharePoint WebPart integration to the slate application our company developed for Rooms to Go.
