Synopsis

Comprehensive coverage to help experienced .NET developers create flexible, extensible enterprise application code

If you′re an experienced Microsoft .NET developer, you′ll find in this book a road map to the latest enterprise development methodologies. It covers the tools you will use in addition to Visual Studio, including Spring.NET and nUnit, and applies to development with ASP.NET, C#, VB, Office (VBA), and database.

You will find comprehensive coverage of the tools and practices that professional .NET developers need to master in order to build enterprise more flexible, testable, and extensible .NET applications with minimal upfront costs.

• Helps C#, VB.Net, and ASP.NET developers who wish to migrate both their applications and their own skillsets to newer, more flexible enterprise methodologies
• Describes each new pattern or feature along with its benefits, then outlines the pros and cons of its implementation
• Includes an introduction to enterprise development and a comprehensive overview of the differences between new enterprise patterns and older, traditional Microsoft programming
• Explains how to implement these patterns by upgrading an existing code base
• Covers benefits including flexibility, automated testing, extensibility, and separation; modular code; test–driven development, unit test, test automation, and refactoring; inversion of control; and object relational mapping
• Also covers enterprise design patterns: MVC including Ruby on Rails, Monorail, and ASP.NET MVC, MVP, observer, and more
• Contains a primer on object–oriented design

Professional Enterprise .NET focuses on the often–inevitable compromise between forward–thinking design and the needs of business, helping you build applications that serve both.

From the Back Cover

Make your enterprise systems code more flexible, testable, and extensible

Many businesses have begun investing in enterprise design with the hope that upfront costs will result in more efficient, maintainable code that will save them money down the line. However, building well–designed applications, incorporating them into existing systems, and responding to the demand for rapid delivery can be overwhelming to even the most experienced developer. This book is the definitive guide to the latest enterprise development patterns and methodologies that will make your code cleaner and more maintainable.

• Examines the philosophy behind enterprise development, coding patterns, and common design patterns used in enterprise systems today

• Walks you through the different ways to assemble your code in a loosely coupled, testable manner

• Explores the pros and cons of the supporting tools (such as Inversion of Control containers, nHibernate, and ASP.NET MVC) that can ultimately lead to better system design

• Shows you how to write and automate unit tests using tools such as nUnit and Rhino Mocks

• Addresses the responsibilities of the data access layer and methodologies of persistence management
