Professional Design Patterns in VB.NET: Building Adaptable Applications

by Tom Fischer, John Slater

Visual Basic .NET is the first version of the VB language to be fully object-oriented. This allows VB programmers to make effective and full use of design patterns in their code for the first time. This book is not a treatment of the theory of design patterns. We show design patterns applied in real world architectural scenarios so that you can see them in action and see the benefits that they bring. We explain why it's worth spending time building design patterns into your applications, even though this may seem at odds with Rapid Application Development. What does this book cover?: - An introduction to design patterns - Design patterns applied in the data, business logic, and presentation tiers - Design patterns in .NET Remoting - Lessons learned and best practices - A UML primer
