Calcium is an open source WPF (and soon to be Silverlight) composite application toolset that leverages the Composite Application Library. It provides much of what one needs to rapidly build a multifaceted and sophisticated modular application. Calcium consists of a client application and server based WCF services, which allow interaction and communication between clients. Out of the box, Calcium comes with a host of modules and services, and an infrastructure that is ready to use in your next application.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to build sophisticated composite applications rapidly.
