April 2014

Prism provides guidance in the form of samples and documentation that help you easily design and build rich, flexible, and easily maintained Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications. Using design patterns that embody important architectural design principles, such as separation of concerns and loose coupling, Prism helps you to design and build applications using loosely coupled components that can evolve independently but which can be easily and seamlessly integrated into the overall application. In short, these applications are "built to last" and "built for change." These types of applications are known as composite applications.

This topic provides a brief overview of the Prism concepts with links to associated source code and documentation.**If you are considering upgrading from Prism 4.1 to Prism 5.0 we include a "What’s New" and "Upgrading from Prism 4.1" topic that you should read.

Note: For .NET 4.0, Silverlight, or Windows Phone 7.x applications use Prism 4.1.

Getting Started

Where to start depends on your goals and what you already know. Learn, Develop and Deploy Applications, and Upgrade from Prism 4.1 should help you understand if Prism makes sense in your application and how to get started.

Learn: If you are new to Prism, this is a good place to start. You should also read through the remaining content in this topic.

Develop and Deploy Applications: If you want to create a Prism Hello World application and deploy it then go through these topics. If you want to more fully understand how to utilize specific Prism capabilities in your application then read the content below.

Upgrade from Prism 4.1: Read the topics below so you can perform a cost benefit analysis of upgrading to Prism 5.0.

Introduction
