Enterprise Solution Patterns Using Microsoft .Net: Version 2.0 : Patterns & Practices Review by SSC
If you're interested how design patterns are implemented
I bought this book since I wanted to know not only what design patterns are feasible on the .NET framework, but how to implement it.
This book takes a text book approach to discussing the pros and cons of a particular design to solve a recurring problem in application design.
This book assumes you have some enterprise application experience and are familiar with the .NET framework. This is an patterns book that is applicable to .NET.
Since I'm a developer, the items of most interest to me were chapter 3, discussing web presentation designs: MVC (implemented in 3 ways), Page Controller, and Front Controller.
What I didn't like was the way that the example in the Front Controller didn't have the capability to dynamically specify which view was to be the target page following a command object execution.
Although the sequence diagrams were very good in helping understanding the concepts of web design patterns; I felt that they should have used more diagrams in the later chapters.
Other than that, I found the book to have sufficient enough information that I needed to know to buy it when I came across it at Borders.
