About this class

This intensive .NET training course has been specifically designed to address the requirements of architects faced with application design and planning with a comprehensive introduction to creating typical commercial applications within the .NET framework using C# or VB.NET.

NET is Microsoft's new platform for web and Windows applications, and Visual Studio.NET is their rapid development environment.

NET applications and web services can be deployed to, and used by, many platforms, from desktop to mobile.

A key feature of .NET is support for multiple programming languages, particularly C# and VB.NET.

Who will the lesson benefit?

Developers and architects.

What prerequisites are required

None.

What delegates will learn

At the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Describe the anatomy of typical .NET applications, including component and service roles
  • List many of the principal patterns found in .NET applications
  • Use .NET patterns in application design, assessing a given pattern's fit in a given context
  • Describe how these patterns can be implemented
  • Understand the current state of .NET patterns

Contents of this class

.NET, Patterns and Practices

  • Gain/refresh familiarity with .NET technologies, the style of .NET applications and where patterns fit.
  • Identify pattern resources for the .NET world.
  • Presentation Patterns

Distribution and Structural Patterns

  • Examine the impact on .NET design of distribution, services, partitioning, transactions and other 'structural' concerns.
  • Explore the patterns that can be introduced to overcome some of the issues associated with these technical aspects of the system

Data and Integration Layer Patterns

  • Explore different styles of data access in .NET and various patterns for mapping domain data to .NET elements.
  • Examine common patterns and idioms for accessing non-database business data and services and patterns for system integration
