Object-orientated architectural patterns for enterprise scale
applications -
presented by Tatham Oddie
|
|
|
In this session
Tatham
will discuss object orientated architectural patterns relating to enterprise scale
applications. Focus will be given to Inversion of Control style programming and design
patterns such as the provider model and other patterns common in enterprise applications.
Object-orientated architecture allows scalable applications both in terms of functionality
and programmability but only when used correctly.

upsize faster than ever before, and build better
HTML pages, along with dozens of other useful tricks that will no doubt save you

SSW Software Audit
|
|
Companies from across the globe have been taking
advantage of SSW's Software Audit Services. The common
message that is received from clients is that getting
their software built in-house can sometimes lead to a
failure to identify design flaws and architectural
insufficiencies. They need an unbiased second opinion
from a knowledgeable source that can make
recommendations to improve the quality of their
software.

When programming in form based
environments one thing to remember
is not to refer to form controls
directly. The correct way is to pass the controls
values that you need through parameters. There are a number of benefits for doing this:
- Debugging is simpler because all your parameters are in one place.
- If for some reason you need to change the control's name then you only have to
change it in one place.
- The fact that nothing in your function is dependant on outside controls means you
could very easily reuse your code in other areas without too many problems re-connecting
the parameters being passed in.
It's a more correct of method of programming.

This month Ross Donald will talk about using code generation to reduce development
time and produce better applications. The talk will cover some of the issues involved
with this type of development such as application architecture, supporting different
database systems, integrating code generation into your project lifecycle and the benefits
of strongly-typing your code. He will also demonstrate a code generator he developed
(NextGeneration
 ).
In spirit of the Microsoft Security Summit,
Tatham will be
discussing methods for securing your ASP.NET web applications and general secure coding
practices. Tuesday's summit approached security from the server side, whereas developers still
need to be security aware in their applications.
Vulnerabilities to be covered include:
session hijacking, view state manipulation, response injection, and SQL injection.
