Explore different architectural options while creating web solutions tiers, layers, and logical structuring Master the concept of n-tier architecture and used design patterns in ASP.NET Implement the new ASP.NET MVC design in your applications Build an SOA application and see how WCF compliments it Design scalable and maintainable applications Deploy your localized applications and learn the best practices for your localization framework Learn better database design that can go with your application Explore best practices on how to globalize your commercial web applications Chapter 1: Introduction to Architecture and Design. This chapter will introduce you to architecture and design in ASP.NET, including tiers, layers, and logical structuring. Chapter 2: 1-Tier 1-Layer Architecture in ASP.NET. This chapter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using the simplest and easiest 1-tier, 1-layer default architecture in ASP.NET.

Chapter 3: ER diagrams, Domain Model and n-Layer Architecture. This chapter discusses what an ER diagram is, the domain model, the basics of UML, what an n-layer design is, and how it increases flexibility and maintainability of the code compared to a 1-layer architecture.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

When it comes to asp.net, Microsoft's visual studio is like a web page "wizard" in many ways. It lets you generate asp.net web pages and sites without understanding much of what is needed to make it work.However the danger there is that it is easy to pile on more and more pages and code until very shortly you have a site that can't scale, with spaghetti code that is extremely difficult to update.This book does a really excellent job of guiding you towards designs that _can_ scale, and that won't leave you tearing your hair out trying to make enhancements.Read and understand it, and use the techniques in EVERY site you build.

I've been hearing a lot about domain models and design patterns in the ASP.NET world and quite frankly it mystified me because I didn't get it. It seemed like developers were more interested in what used to be called systems analysis than in web application development. Fortunately this book is perfect for explaining these concepts to an experienced ASP.NET developer. I found clear explanations of lazy loading, front controller design, model view controller, singleton pattern, factory method, dependency injection, command design pattern, etc. And the author describes how all of these design patterns and domain models can be implemented in ASP.NET so you aren't left wondering how it applies to web application development.I also appreciated the fact that Vivek Thakur has a no nonsense attitude about how worthwhile a particular architecture may be for a particular project. Since I don't work on a large development team and my projects aren't commercial and don't need to scale or integrate with legacy systems, most of these advanced application architectures would be inappropriate. This book confirms my suspicion that some design patterns and domain models aren't justified for small and simple projects with low budgets.Although the implementation details are sketchy and don't apply to my projects, I still picked up a few coding tips. But the main benefit to reading this book is that it demystifies many concepts that are being kicked around.

This is an excellent book for beginner to intermediate programmers who want to see a practical basic approach to OOAD and Domain modelling in ASP.NET.It is not a reference guide on any of the .NET topics, but more of a straight, simple and informative text that throws light on a lot of day-to-day issues and choices which a developer might have to make while working on different projects.I highly recommend this book to all .NET developers, both Windows and Web!

Amazon Customer Aug 27, 2017

The book runs true to Alice in wonderlands "that's the reason they are called lessons because they lessen from day to day"; if you got a thorough grasp over the basics then you can move faster through the more complicated ones with increasing clarity. The book employs a deductive reasoning approach.
