Developing Application Frameworks in .NET Review by M. Van Der Graaff
Useful book!
This book is centered around a Simplied Application Framework (SAF) consisting of some domain specific components (exchange and processing of business components) and some more or less generic components (configuration, event notification, etc.). Each of these components is discussed in detail and explained with code samples which can be downloaded from the publisher's website. Various .NET concepts like Remoting and Reflection are discussed at the components where these concepts are exploited. The design patterns from the book of the GoF (Gang Of Four), 'Design patterns, Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software' are extensively used throughout the book. It gives some practical applications of these patterns and that's what I liked most about it.
A minor point is that the source code contains some spelling errors and a naming error (The Visitor class of the Visitor pattern has a method named 'Accept' method, whereas its obvious that the method should be named 'Visit') which is a bit disturbing, although the source code will probably still compile ;-) Despite of this I recommend it for both software developers and architects.
