Professional Refactoring in C ASPNET Wrox Programmer to Programmer

Reading through this book I found very little that I wasn't already practicing, which was great for me. However, reading this book really made me wish that anyone who just got done reading a dummies book would immediately read this book. I'm so sick of seeing procedural coding styles and massive code duplication. This isn't 1996!!It's a shame that this book is labeled 'Professional' because beginners need to read this book (or an equivalent). The author goes into detail about various refactoring methods, how to detect when you need to use them, why you should use them and how. It is a great reference for anyone who is working on a large project and would like to put the final shine on it.I did find that reading through the chapters was a bit confusing, the side bars are out of place and interrupt the flow of reading, but other than that, I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to beginners and self proclaimed "Pro's" alike.----------Refactoring is an effective way to quickly uncover problematic code and fix it. In this first book to provide a hands-on approach to refactoring in C# and ASP.NET, you'll discover to apply refactoring techniques to manage and modify your code. Plus, you'll learn how to build a prototype application from scratch and discover how to refactor the prototype into a properly designed, enterprise-level application.With the help of step-by-step directions, you'll gain a better understanding of different code issues and refactoring transformations. Many of these transformations are developed from real-world scenarios that are the result of key business decisions.

Currently, he works as Product and Solutions Architect at Excelsys S.A., designing web 2.0 banking solutions for numerous clients in the region. He started experimenting with refactoring while overhauling a huge banking system, and he hasn’t lost interest in refactoring ever since. He is known for evangelizing about refactoring on the .NET platform. Arsenovski is a contributing author for Visual Studio Magazine, .NET Developers Journal, and Visual Systems Journal. He holds the Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) certification, and was named Microsoft MVP in 2005. You can reach him at danijel.arsenovski@empoweragile.com, and feel free to drop by at his blog at . Professional C# 2008 starts by reviewing the overall architecture of .NET in Chapter 1 in order to give you the background you need to be able to write managed code. After that the book is divided into a number of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety of areas. Part I: The C# Language gives a good grounding in the C# language itself. This section doesn't presume knowledge of any particular language, although it does assume you are an experienced programmer. You start by looking at C#'s basic syntax and data types, and then explore the object-oriented features of C# before moving on to look at more advanced C# programming topics. Part II: Visual Studio looks at the main IDE utilized by C# developers world-wide: Visual Studio 2005. The two chapters in this section look at the best way to use the tool to build applications based upon either the .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0. In addition to this, this section also focuses on the deployment of your projects. Part III: Base Class Libraries looks at the principles of programming in the .NET environment. In particular, you look at security, threading localization, transactions, how to build Windows services, and how to generate your own libraries as assemblies. Part IV: Data looks at accessing databases with ADO.NET and LINQ, and at interacting with directories and files. This part also extensively covers support in .NET for XML and on the Windows operating system side, and the .NET features of SQL Server 2008. Within the large space of LINQ, particular focus is put on LINQ to SQL and LINQ to XML. Part V: Presentation focuses on building classic Windows applications, which are called Windows Forms in .NET. Windows Forms are the thick-client version of applications, and using .NET to build these types of applications is a quick and easy way of accomplishing this task. In addition to looking at Windows Forms, you take a look at GDI+, which is the technology you will use for building applications that include advanced graphics. This section also covers writing components that will run on Web sites, serving up Web pages. This covers the tremendous number of new features that ASP.NET 3.5 provides. Finally, this section also shows how to build applications based upon the Windows Presentation Foundation and VSTO. Part VI: Communication covers Web services for platform-independent communication, .NET Remoting for communication between .NET clients and servers, Enterprise Services for the services in the background, and DCOM communication. With Message Queuing asynchronous, disconnected communication is shown. This section also looks at utilizing the Windows Communication Foundation and the Windows Workflow Foundation. Part VII: Appendices (Online): This section includes three appendices focused on how to build applications that take into account the new features and barriers found in Windows Vista. Also, this section looks at the upcoming ADO.NET Entities technology and how to use this new technology in your C# applications. You can find these three appendices online at www.wrox.com.
