Features: The application framework provides general services for applications built upon it, offering the benefits of scalability, modularity, and reusability for your code and design. This book explains what a framework is and how it meets application needs, as well as covering many important object-oriented techniques used to create frameworks. It also demonstrates, through a specific framework case study called SimplifiedApplicationFramework (SAF), how to practically develop an application framework. The SAF framework, developed by the author in C#, consists of many typical general services commonly used in practical applications, such as class factories, configuration, event notification, security, and transaction services. The book provides detailed explanations of each service, clarifying its typical role, and presents its design and C# implementation. Through discussions of each service, readers can also learn how the framework fully leverages advanced technologies like .NET remoting, reflection, custom attributes, multithreading, and ServicedComponent. Additionally, many of the services discussed in the book are based on design patterns. The book delves into these patterns and explains how to implement them in specific scenarios. By working with the accompanying source code, readers gain a strong practical understanding, enabling them to study each framework service/component of SAF, experience real-world framework development, and grasp core .NET technologies and design patterns.
This book teaches how to design application frameworks. Application frameworks provide general services for applications built upon them, offering the advantages of scalability, modularity, and reusability for your code and design. It explains what a framework is and covers many object-oriented techniques used to create frameworks. The book also demonstrates, through a specific framework case study called SimplifiedApplicationFramework (SAF), how to practically develop an application framework, including typical general services like class factories, configuration, event notification, security, and transaction services. Furthermore, many of the services discussed in the book are based on design patterns. The book provides in-depth discussions of these patterns and explains how to implement them in specific scenarios. The content is rich, well-structured, and fluently integrates design patterns, .NET advanced technologies, and framework development concepts, making it a rare and valuable resource. This book is suitable for architects, framework developers, and .NET developers.
