HIGHLIGHT

Developers learn to apply the same techniques they use for new application

development to legacy apps.

DESCRIPTION

Most software developers have inherited legacy or brownfield projects that

require maintenance, incremental improvements, or even cleaning up the mess

another programmer left behind.

Brownfield Application Development in .NET shows developers how to

approach legacy applications with the state-of-the-art concepts, patterns, and

tools developers apply to new projects. Using an existing application as an

example, this book guides readers in applying the techniques and best practices

they need to make a brownfield application more maintainable and receptive to

change.

As the book proceeds, the authors introduce frameworks and tools commonly

used today while still approaching the subject from a conceptual level so that

you can substitute alternate tools as appropriate. Because the book is based on

the authors’ experiences, Brownfield Application Development in .NET

moves beyond the theories and shows readers the techniques they need to be

successful.

KEY POINTS

• Preparing for change

• Challenges and goals in inheriting a project

• Applying agile techniques―like testing and refactoring―to legacy apps

MARKET INFORMATION

Simply put, there are a lot more developers slogging through old legacy apps

than there are creating new ones. Virtually all books on maintaining legacy apps

address Java or C++ developers. This is the first book to tackle legacy applications

from a .NET developer’s perspective.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kyle Baley

has been developing applications since 1998 with a focus on web

applications. He has built software for a number of industries, including transportation,

telecommunications, private banking, oil and gas, online education,

and hotels and hospitality.

Donald Belcham is an independent contractor who has been developing applications

for the public and private sectors of North America and the South Pacific

since 2000. In those years he has built some green field applications, but more

often than not he has inherited partially completed systems (brownfield) which

were in dire need of resuscitation.
