.NET Domain-Driven Design with C#: Problem - Design - Solution

.NET Domain-Driven Design with C#: Problem - Design - Solution (c) by
Wrox

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 0470147563 and Pub Date: April 28, 2008
The size of the release is: 03 disks x 2.88mb
And released on: 07/23/2008


This first technical title of its kind, this is a revolutionary book for
the object oriented developer. It takes the reader through the intense
process of building a real-world application using Domain-Driven Design
principles implemented in C# 3.0 (.NET Framework 3.5). The reader is
introduced to a business domain of a real-world Construction
Administration application for an architecture firm. The application is
ma critical, legacy MS Access application that has outgrown MS Access
and is ready to become a full-fledged enterprise application. In each
chapter, the relevant part of the domain is modeled out via diagrams and
code. The application is built using C#, Windows Presentation
Foundation, and other Microsoft technologies and best practices. The
main focus of the book is on designing and implementing the domain model
and all of the supporting patterns and framework that are built in
support of the domain model. The emphasis is on these theories in action
through the working application, not on the tools used. The main goal is
to show how to take a set of requirements and user scenarios and apply
Domain-Driven Design principles to the requirements in order to create a
domain model that satisfies both the user requirements and the system
requirements. Various patterns are introduced along the way in order to
aid with certain activities such as adapting the domain model to the
user interface, synchronizing data between the client and the server,
validation, mapping, etc. Although this particular application is a WPF
application, most of the design patterns introduced and applied in the
book can be used on other types of applications, such as web
applications, web services, etc. With the Problem-Design-Solution
promise and approach, the chapters are broken down into their own
modules where the intent is to take the reader through the process from
beginning to end while building a complete project with each chapter
module. Each chapter establishes the problem, what the reader wants to
do, and why it is important, and then what factors and restrictions need
to be taken into account. Next the chapter covers how the programmer
will solve the problem with an adequate solution that will provide only
the best results. Finally, the developer produces code and other
materials to better realize the design and solution to the problem. This
part of the chapter is where the reader gets hands-on practice at
creating code that builds applications.
