C# Design and Development: Expert One on One

John P. Mueller demonstrates how you can fine-tune your skill set to create an elegant design that will scale well and produce reliable, speedy, secure, and efficient code. You?ll explore several applications and design strategies using C# and you?ll learn the best approaches for various system configurations. Mueller shares expert advice on how to create better applications by using fine-tuned design strategies and new methods for writing applications using less code, which improves efficiency. Topics include understanding the application lifecycle, defining a design strategy, designing with speed and security in mind, scripting the IDE, working with controls and components, testing, debugging and quality assurance, serializing XML, working with LINQ, augmenting applications using F#, and much more.

Are you looking for techniques that will help you write consistent code and create more robust applications? In this hands-on guide, I''ll provide you with a collection of design strategies that show you how to write high-performance applications using less code so you can become more efficient. These strategies are especially suited for C# code and will enable you to select the right approach to meet your program requirements.

Instead of overloading you with theory, I present numerous coding examples to help you learn how an application is designed, and then I give you the tools to start writing your own. I also explore issues such as application testing and support, serializing XML, working with LINQ, and more. In all cases, I offer techniques that will reduce security risks, improve application acceptance, and make your application do more with fewer resources.

By the end of the book, you''ll be able to create a design that will scale well and produce reliable, speedy, secure, and efficient code.
