Book description
Make the right architectural decisions up front—and improve the quality and reliability of your results. Led by two enterprise programming experts, you’ll learn how to apply the patterns and techniques that help control project complexity—and make systems easier to build, support, and upgrade—right from the start.
Get pragmatic architectural guidance on how to:
Build testability, maintainability, and security into your system early in the design
Expose business logic through a service-oriented interface
Choose the best pattern for organizing business logic and behavior
Review and apply the patterns for separating the UI and presentation logic
Delve deep into the patterns and practices for the data access layer
Tackle the impedance mismatch between objects and data
Minimize development effort and avoid over-engineering—and deliver more robust results
Get code samples on the Web.
