It’s a good time to be a C# Developer• Microsoft is moving towards open source• .NET Core• https://github.com/dotnet/core

• Visual Studio Code• Runs on Linux, Mac and Windows

• Xamarin for Cross platform mobile development• Using C#• iOS, Android and Windows Phone and Mac OS

• Microsoft has been a supporting other open source frameworks such as AngularJS

• Azure supports different distribution of Linux and other open source frameworks (also PHP)

The rise of JavaScript

The rise of JavaScript• Your website sucks without JavaScript

• JS Frameworks make your website powerful

• JavaScript conquered the Web

• Now its taking over other areas• Mobile• PhoneGap, Ionic, Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile and many more

• Server Side Applications• Node JS

Single Page Applications• SPAs are web apps that load a single HTML page and dynamically that page as the user interacts

• Much of the work happen in the client side

• Usually written in JavaScript

SPA Lifecycle

TypeScript•Open source programming language

• Developed and maintained by Microsoft

• A superset of JavaScript

Best PracticesSOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT APPROACHES

Agile Software Development• a set of principles for software development

• collaborative effort

• Adaptive

• Iterative

Agile Methods & Practices• Extreme Programming• Lean Software Development• Kanban• Scrum• Test driven development• Domain Driven Design

Domain Driven Design• DDD is an approach to software development

• Focuses on the complexity of the business domain

• Distinguishes core domain (unique to the business) from supporting sub domains

Why is DDD important?• Helps you (Developer) understand more about the business

• Helps all of the stakeholders the needs of the business

• All stakeholders will be communicating in one language

Test Driven Development• is a software development process

• relies on the repetition of a very short cycle

Why use TDD?• Better understanding of your code and requirements

• Speeds up development• By limiting bugs in QA phase

• Cleaner code

• Saves business’ money

S.O.L.I.D. Principles• Basic principles which help you create good software architecture

• Acronym for• Single Responsibility Principle• Open Closed Principle• Liskov Substitution Principle• Interface Segregation Principle• Dependency Inversion Principle

Single Responsibility Principle• A class should have one responsibility only

• Separation of concerns

Open Closed Principle• Open for extension• extend existing code

• Close for modification• Once a function or class or an entity has been developed and tested, it should only be modified to fix

bugs

Liskov Substitution Principle• objects in a program should be replaceable with instances of their subtypes without altering the correctness of that program

• A parent class object should be able to refer child objects seamlessly during runtime polymorphism

Interface Segregation Principle• many client-specific interfaces are better than one general-purpose interface

• client should not be forced to use a interface if it does not need it.

Dependency Inversion Principle• Depend on abstractions, not on concretions

Continuous Integration• is a practice of merging all developer working copies

• Best practices• Automated tests• Automated builds• Self-testing builds• Test in a clone of production environment• Automated Deployment

Other Important topics• Version Control (Git, SVN)

• Design Patterns

• Defensive Programming

• Information Security

• Debugging

• Understanding someone else’s code

• Rest Web Services
