Microsoft.NET : Architecting Applications for the Enterprise

Designing effective architecture is your best strategy for managing project complexity-and improving your results. But the principles and practices of software architecting-what the authors call the "science of hard decisions"-have been evolving for cloud, mobile, and other shifts. Now fully revised and updated, this book shares the knowledge and real-world perspectives that enable you to design for success-and deliver more successful solutions.

In this fully updated Second Edition, you will:

• Learn how only a deep understanding of domain can lead to appropriate architecture
• Examine domain-driven design in both theory and implementation
• Shift your approach to code first, model later-including multilayer architecture
• Capture the benefits of prioritizing software maintainability
• See how readability, testability, and extensibility lead to code quality
• Take a user experience (UX) first approach, rather than designing for data
• Review patterns for organizing business logic
• Use event sourcing and CQRS together to model complex business domains more effectively

Delve inside the persistence layer, including patterns and implementation.
