If you are a .NET developer and would like to learn the new features in .NET 4.5, then this book is just for you. Prior experience with .NET Framework would be useful, but not necessary. "Microsoft .Net Framework 4.5 Quickstart Cookbook" gives architects and project managers a high-level overview and clear understanding of what .NET 4.5 Framework provides and how it can be used.

* Coverage of all three significant .NET code generation mechanisms: Manual code generation, XSL/XML and CodeDom. * Includes a database metadata extraction tool based on SQL-92 standards. * Real solutions to the problem of protecting handcrafted code across regeneration. * Covers code generation in the broader picture of how applications are developed. * Includes real world samples for a complete middle tier and simple User Interface.

"Internationalization and Localization Using Microsoft .NET" shows how to localize code using Visual Studio .NET. Author Nick Symonds is an experienced developer and project manager of Windows applications intended for use worldwide. Symmonds knows the advantages of localization in the design stage and the disadvantages of localizing a project after the fact. Both methods of localizing code are discussed in this book. VS .NET has quite a few tools available for the developer to aid in the localization process. These tools are discussed in depth, and the pros and cons of each are presented to the reader. Symmonds includes a comprehensive example of a resource editor that takes readers through writing this editor in both C# and VB .NET. This project is not only useful as a product in itself, but is also instructive in how to write fairly complicated code in both .NET languages.

A software architect’s digest of core practices, pragmatically applied Designing effective architecture is your best strategy for managing project complexity–and improving your results. But the principles and practices of software architecting–what the authors call the “science of hard decisions”–have been evolving for cloud, mobile, and other shifts. Now fully revised and updated, this book shares the knowledge and real-world perspectives that enable you to design for success–and deliver more successful solutions. In this fully updated Second Edition, you will: Learn how only a deep understanding of domain can lead to appropriate architecture Examine domain-driven design in both theory and implementation Shift your approach to code first, model later–including multilayer architecture Capture the benefits of prioritizing software maintainability See how readability, testability, and extensibility lead to code quality Take a user experience (UX) first approach, rather than designing for data Review patterns for organizing business logic Use event sourcing and CQRS together to model complex business domains more effectively Delve inside the persistence layer, including patterns and implementation.

This book answers the questions "What is Microsoft .NET and how do I profit from it?" The author breaks these questions down into "What problems does Microsoft .NET solve?"; "What architectural approaches does it take to solve them?"; and "How do I get started using it?" Each chapter is written in a logical, pyramidal format, with simpler, high-level concepts introduced first.

CD-ROM contains: Searchable electronic version of text -- Source code for more than 75 complete sample programs and components written in C# -- .NET Framework SDK, plus service pack 1.

"The guide is intended to serve as a practical and convenient overview of, and reference to, the general principles of architecture and design on the Microsoft platform and the .NET Framework".
