Professional Design Patterns in VB .NET: Building Adaptable Applications 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. It explains why it's worth spending time building design patterns into your applications, even though this may seem at odds with Rapid Application Development.

  After a fast-paced introduction to design patterns, the core of this book consists of three case studies, which show how design patterns are applied in each of the main tiers of an application: the data, business, and presentation layers. These case studies flesh out the reader's understanding of design patterns, and show how they can be employed in real scenarios that will be instantly recognizable to all VB .NET programmers. The book also shows how design patterns can be used in conjunction with .NET Remoting, so that they can be applied not just within individual tiers, but across them as well. Since many VB .NET programmers may not be completely familiar with UML, we also provide a UML primer as an appendix.

          Author Information

  Tom Fischer - Tom Fischer's career spans a broad range of technologies with some of the most prestigious consulting firms in the Twin Cities. His certifications include the Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP), Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD), and Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA). And as a Microsoft Certified Teacher (MCT), Tom also helps teach other developers about the latest Microsoft .NET tools and technologies.

John Slater - John Slater is a project manager at Management Reports International in Cleveland, OH. At MRI he is currently developing applications for the property management industry. He is working on several projects using .NET development tools and .NET Enterprise servers.

  Pete Stromquist - Pete Stromquist is a consultant at Magenic Technologies (one of the nation's premiere Microsoft Gold Certified Partners), specializing in Web-enabled application development using Microsoft tools and technologies. He has spent the last several years architecting and developing the following types of applications: Intranet content management, Web-enabled training and testing software, B2B and B2C e-commerce, and Web-based telemetry and logistics. Pete has complimented his VB skills with several other technologies such as: XML, XSL, COM+, IIS, ASP, and, of course, .NET. He also enjoys teaching and presenting on .NET technologies. Pete has a Mechanical Engineering background, receiving his Bachelor of Science from the University of Minnesota.

  Chaur G. Wu - Wu currently works for Trend Micro Inc. as a senior software engineer. He started software programming before he was old enough to qualify for a driving license. The first program he wrote was a bingo game - in assembly code on an 8051 single chip. As a research assistant in his graduate study, he implemented a wavelet-based video compression algorithm for a traffic surveillance system sponsored by Boston City Department of Transportation. He helped solve a blurred image problem using inverse filters and other image processing algorithms for a fiber optics components client, and he's been involved in much larger projects as well. Wu also developed a program in C++ to simulate the movement and geographical coverage of GPS satellites. His technical interests include distributed software systems in Java, COM, and .NET, generative programming, software design, and neural networks.
