Expert C# Business Objects

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT application architecture, design, and development in .NET, using object-oriented concepts. Specifically, we'll build business-focused objects called business objects, and we'll implement them in various distributed environments that include web-and client-server configurations. To this end, we'll make use of a great many .NET technologies, object -oriented design and programming concepts, and distributed architectures. In the first half of the book, we'll walk through the process of creating a framework to support object-oriented application development in .NET. This will include a lot of architectural concepts and ideas. It will also involve some in -depth use of advanced .NET techniques as we create our framework. In the second half of the book, I'll make use of the framework to build a sample application with several different interfaces. If you wish, it's perfectly possible to skip the first half of the book and simply make use of the framework to build object -oriented applications. One of my primary goals in creating this framework was to simplify .NET development. Developers using the framework in this book don't need to worry about the details of underlying technologies such as remoting, serialization, or no-touch deployment. All of these are embedded in the framework, so that a developer using it can focus almost entirely on business logic and application design, rather than getting caught up in "plumbing" issues.
