Chapter 4. The Business Logic Layer: Organization

WHAT'S IN THIS CHAPTER?

  • When and how to use the Transaction Script pattern to organize business logic

  • When and how to use Active Record with the Castle Windsor project to organize business logic

  • When and how to use the Domain Model pattern with NHibernate to organize business logic

  • Explanation of the difference between the Anemic Model and the Domain Model patterns to organize business logic

  • Understanding domain-driven design (DDD) and how to use it to focus your efforts on business logic rather than infrastructure concerns

Each of these domain logic patterns has strengths and weaknesses depending on what type of application you are building.

Armed with knowledge of the architectural patterns to organize your domain logic, you will then read about DDD, a design method that can help you understand the business domain that you are modeling more effectively and ensure that the business needs are at the forefront of your mind.
