Question

User-739304194 posted

Dear All,

I am a newbie to asp.net and work in a firm where the projects are quite small.

I was told by my manager that in a few weeks or so we would be getting a bigger project and I need to be well versed with Design Patterns and N tier arcihtecture.

I would really appreciate if someone could provide me some links and also drop me a few sentences on  how this things are useful?

Hi,

I suggest you take a look at this overview of design patterns: http://dofactory.com/Patterns/Patterns.aspx.

And here for some material about n-tier development: http://www.google.be/search?aq=1&oq=n+tier&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=n+tier+architecture+in+.net.

Grz, Kris.

I agree, these are good starting points. I would like to pin point one small thing before you dig in to deep, only use an n-tier architecture if you really need to (since n-tiers give you a physical separation of your layers and is more suitable for larger enterprise systems). Find some good reading about the differnces between n-tiers and n-layers and bring up the question with your manager, I am pretty sure he means n-layers when he is talking about n-tiers.

Imar Spaanjaars has a good blog entry on n-teir and seperating your concerns DAl, Business layer etc http://imar.spaanjaars.com/476/n-layered-web-applications-with-aspnet-35-part-1-general-introduction.

I have a book coming out in a couple of months on ASP.NET Design Patterns, in the meantime these are some really good books for learning about design patterns on Amazon have a search. This is a reasonable article on desing patterns http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301852.aspx/.

Well not to confuse you more, the links suggested are great, I still refer them.<o:p></o:p>

It will be nice if you can refer "Head First Design Pattern" as well, also covered in "Do Factory Design Patterns"<o:p></o:p>
