This unique book takes good ASP.NET (MVC/Webforms) application construction one step further by emphasizing loosely coupled and highly cohesive ASP.NET web application architectural design. Each chapter
addresses a layer in an enterprise ASP.NET (MVC/Webforms) application and shows how proven patterns, principles, and best practices can be leveraged to solve problems and improve the design of your code. In addition, a professional-level, end-to-end case study is used to show how to use best practice design patterns and principles in a real website.

Professional ASP.NET Design Patterns:

• All patterns and principles are applicable to ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web forms
• Demonstrates how to use the Gang of Four design patterns to improve your ASP.NET code
• Shows how Fowler's Enterprise patterns and the S.O.L.I.D. design principles fit into an enterprise-level ASP.NET site
• Provides details on how to layer an ASP.NET application and separate your concerns and responsibilities
• Details AJAX patterns using JQuery and Json, and messaging patterns with WCF
• Shares best practice tools for ASP.NET such as AutoMapper, NHibernate, StructureMap, Entity Framework, and Castle MonoRail
• Uncovers tips for separating a site's UX and presentation layer using MVC, MVP and the Front Controller patterns
• Features code examples that are applicable to all versions of ASP.NET

This book features C# code examples in ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web forms.

From the Author

This book is all about showing you how to use the power of design patterns and core design principles in real ASP.NET applications. The goal of this book is to educate developers on the fundamentals of object oriented programming, design patterns, principles, and methodologies that can help you become a better programmer. Design patterns and principles enable loosely coupled and highly cohesive code, which will improve your code's readability, flexibility, and maintenance. Each chapter addresses a layer in an enterprise ASP.NET application and shows how proven patterns, principles, and best practices can be leveraged to solve problems and improve the design of your code. In addition, a professional-level, end-to-end case study is used to show how to use best practice design patterns and principles in a real website.

Implement proven solutions to recurrent design problems

This unique book takes good ASP.NET application construction one step further by emphasizing loosely coupled and highly cohesive ASP.NET web application architectural design. Each chapter addresses a layer in an enterprise ASP.NET application and shows how proven patterns, principles, and best practices can be leveraged to solve problems and improve the design of your code. In addition, a professional-level, end-to-end case study is used to show how to actuate best practice design patterns and principles in a real web site. The framework built to support the case study can be used as the basis from which you can build real web sites, extend the code, and implement specific ASP.NET code.
