.NET Design Patterns
About this ebook
This book is for those with familiarity with .NET development who would like to take their skills to the next level and be in the driver's seat when it comes to modern development techniques. Basic object-oriented C# programming experience and an elementary familiarity with the .NET framework library is required.
What You Will LearnPut patterns and pattern catalogs into the right perspectiveApply patterns for software development under C#/.NETUse GoF and other patterns in real-life development scenariosBe able to enrich your design vocabulary and well articulate your design thoughtsLeverage object/functional programming by mixing OOP and FPUnderstand the reactive programming model using Rx and RxJsWriting compositional code using C# LINQ constructsBe able to implement concurrent/parallel programming techniques using idioms under .NETAvoiding pitfalls when creating compositional, readable, and maintainable code using imperative, functional, and reactive code.In DetailKnowing about design patterns enables developers to improve their code base, promoting code reuse and making their design more robust.
This book focuses on the practical aspects of programming in .NET. You will learn about some of the relevant design patterns (and their application) that are most widely used. We start with classic object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, evaluate parallel programming and concurrency models, enhance implementations by mixing OOP and functional programming, and finally to the reactive programming model where functional programming and OOP are used in synergy to write better code.
Throughout this book, we'll show you how to deal with architecture/design techniques, GoF patterns, relevant patterns from other catalogs, functional programming, and reactive programming techniques.
After reading this book, you will be able to convincingly leverage these design patterns (factory pattern, builder pattern, prototype pattern, adapter pattern, facade pattern, decorator pattern, observer pattern and so on) for your programs. You will also be able to write fluid functional code in .NET that would leverage concurrency and parallelism!
Style and approachThis tutorial-based book takes a step-by-step approach. It covers the major patterns and explains them in a detailed manned along with code examples.
