This book teaches you all the essential knowledge required to learn and apply time-proven SOLID principles of object-oriented design and important design patterns in ASP.NET Core 1.0 (formerly ASP.NET 5) applications. You will learn to write server-side as well as client-side code that makes use of proven practices and patterns. SOLID is an acronym popularized by Robert Martin used to describe five basic principles of good object-oriented design--Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation and Dependency Inversion. This book covers all five principles and illustrates how they can be used in ASP.NET Core 1.0 applications. Design Patterns are time proven solutions to commonly occurring software design problems. The most well-known catalog of design patterns comes from Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides, the so-called as GoF patterns (Gang of Four patterns). This book contains detailed descriptions of how to apply Creational, Structural and Behavioral GoF design patterns along with some Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture. Popular JavaScript patterns are covered, along with working examples of all these patterns in ASP.NET Core 1.0 and C# are included. What You Will Learn: How to apply SOLID principles to ASP.NET applications How to use Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns in ASP.NET applications Techniques for applying Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture cataloged by Martin Fowler in ASP.NET applications How to organize code and apply design patterns in JavaScript Who This Book Is For:This book is for ASP.NET developers familiar with ASP.NET Core 1.0, C# and Visual Studio.

jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today, appearing on nearly two thirds of the 10,000 most visited sites on the web. With this sort of popularity, it's clear that ASP.NET developers can't afford to miss out. By combining jQuerywith ASP.NET you get the best of both worlds: the client-side interactivity and responsiveness of JavaScript with the robustness and extensibility of Microsoft's web stack. Beginning jQuery 2 for ASP.NET Developers shows you how. To begin with, you'll find out how jQuery hooks up with your ASP.NET controls, and simplifies event handling by keeping it in the browser. Then you'lllearn tohandle dynamic content and responsive layouts byinteracting withthe DOM.Effects and animations are one of the most popular uses of the jQuery library, so we cover that nextshowing you how to get a sleek modern look and feel to your siteusing some of the vast library of JavaScript that's already out there waiting to be used. Ajax is one ofthe areas where jQuery really shines, so you'll find out how to make Ajax calls toa web service andget data ontoa page without waiting for slow ASP.NET postbacks every time. And no book onjQuery would be complete without jQuery Mobile: thepopular mobile web framework thatgets you writing sites that work across all the major mobile platforms. What you'll learn Learn to select DOM elements using powerful jQuery selectors. Use jQuery with ASP.NET server controls, ASP.NET MVC form fields and other DOM elements. Manipulate and traverse the DOM tree and add jQuery effects to ASP.NET web pages. Learn to make Ajax calls and pass JSON data to Web Services, Web Methods, WCF services, controller action methods, HTTP handlers and Web APIs. Understand code reuse by creating and using jQuery plug-ins. Get introduced with jQuery UI and jQuery mobile and use them in ASP.NET Web Forms and MVC applications. Who this book is for This book is for novice to intermediate developers who want to improve and enhance their ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects with client-side scripting.
