To deliver the right solutions for increasingly complex enterprise and user requirements, you need vision. You need guidance. You need to apply the patterns and practices that by design create explicit outcomes for often-implicit challenges. In this book, you ll take a structured, realistic approach to resolving software complexity that places architectural integrity at its core. The authors share their extensive, real-world experience with enterprise and service-oriented development to illuminate the patterns, principles, and techniques for producing more-effective solutions, including the modeling techniques that ensure your architecture fully and explicitly addresses user requirements. They deftly cover essential concepts (UML, design patterns), the core system (business, services, data access, and presentation layers), and specific tools, including Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual Studio(r) and they provide code samples and expert insights you can apply right away to your own .NET-based enterprise solutions.

While the .NET environment provides a developer with a powerful toolbox to accomplish their goals, it can often be a daunting task to debug some of the issues that inevitably crop up during software development. This book provides the crucial details about how the CLR works internally, which you need to know to diagnose many classes of bugs in your .NET programs, and it provides clear examples of how to solve the same types of issues we see our customers struggle with on a daily basis. This book is required reading for all serious .NET developers
