.NET UserGroup Braunschweig

May 21, 2008 19:20 by Jens

Gestern war ich zum zweiten Mal zu Gast bei der .NET-User Group in Braunschweig. Wir hörten einen interessanten Vortrag über Game Development mit dem XNA-Framework.

Gefreut habe ich mich, dass ich bei der Verlosung ein Windows Vista Ultimate gewonnen habe. (Ich glaube, ich hätte diese Woche Lotto spielen sollen. Cool)

.NET Domain Driven Design with C#

May 18, 2008 21:09 by Jens

This weekend I received a copy of Tim McCarthy's ".NET Domain Driven Design with C#". I was waiting eagerly for this book. Special thanks go to my boss for sponsoring it. Smile

As I haven|t read the book yet, I cannot give a review. So I will leave the text of the back cover here:

"As the first technical book of its kind, this unique resource walks you through the process of building a real-world application using Domain-Driven Design implemented in C#. Based on a real application for an existing company, the project featured throughout the book focuses on the Domain Model and the framework that is being built to support it. Each chapter is broken down into specific modules so that you can identify the problem, decide what solution will provide the best results, and then execute that design to solve the problem. With each chapter, you'll build a complete project from beginning to end, offering you indispensable, hands-on practice at creating code that builds applications. What you will learn from this book  

  • When, why, and how to use Domain-Driven Design
  • How to design and build the initial Domain Model
  • What to do to achieve "Persistence Ignorance"
  • Ways to build a Repository framework for the Domain Model
  • Techniques for applying TDD to the Domain Model
  • How to apply the Model-View-ViewModel Pattern
  • How to build a client-side membership system
  • What to do to synchronize the client application with the server
This book is for experienced C# .NET developers who want to improve their techniques for writing applications that perform well and are highly scalable."


Since we are currently starting a brand new WPF project that will cover all of the things that come in the book, it arrived just in time. Cool And I hope it will be a good help for us.
