The document discusses the evolution of web development practices, emphasizing a shift towards mobile-first UX, the adoption of HTML5, and lighter technologies like RESTful APIs over traditional SOAP. It highlights the importance of agile methodologies, cloud computing efficiency, and the necessity for developers to enhance their skills in UI and modern frameworks. The author advocates for smaller, manageable programming tasks and emphasizes understanding user needs and performance considerations in coding.
Few Tips for asp.net developers 2014 and beyond
- 1. Authored by Sreejesh K M, CTO Toboc International
- 3. Flood of Device types. › Mobile First UX › HTML 5, RWD with Bootstrap and JS/jQuery HTML5 Maturing › UI Layer:Middle Layer:DB Code share shift towards 60:20:20, from the current situation of 15:55:30 Maturing Cloud Computing – need for lower Cloud Footprint, REST-ful SOA! meaning lower memory and CPU consumption for given piece of code. Time to pick up WebAPI and other Light-weight technologies and styles like REST style instead of heavy SOAP with WCF! › Mobile Clients – send data as JSON. Enough of XML and SOAP for all! › Agile in MainStream › Built for Change
- 4. ASP.NET is getting Nimble and Modern, especially with .net 4/4.5 › Better Aysnc support › Model binders, better HTML5 control support › More client centric coding with Inbuilt support for CSS and JS frameworks, WebEssentials, Visual Studio CSS, JS and HTML Editor features › WebSockets, SPA › SOA through WebAPI or WCF › MVC5, OWIN- Kantana Competing with Node.js? › IIS8 with less memory foot print – good news for cloud again › Robust AWS .NET API, SQL Server RDS › Seamless Integration with Azure Robust MV* pattern choices › MVC, Webforms, MVVM
- 5. LESS, Razor, BootStrap Knockout, AngularJS MVC, MVVM REST, WebAPI NoSQL, RDS .NET 4.5, WebAPI Cloud Ready programming
- 6. Smaller Iterations -Prioritize Features with Success Sliders – Help product owners! Smart use-cases, User Stories, Mobile First UX and Wireframes – Help product owners! Break tasks down to manageable pieces Smaller Tasks and Smaller Timelines: Developers are a special breed of optimist: when presented with a Large programming task, they think, "That'll be easy! Won't take much time at all.“ But will take weeks to do it sometimes! › Instead give a programmer an afternoon to code a small, specific task and he'll crank it out, ready to move onto the next one. › Use Visual Studio and connected technologies and tools smartly to be ‘Agile’ › › › Write Testable Code, have test stubs Continuous Integration and Seamless Cloud deployments Use GitHub or TeamFoundation Service to see both big picture and specifics
- 7. Develop With Passion : It makes all the difference Ramp-up skills on UI : Time for .NET developers to ramp-up skills on UI Remember the User-base and their devices Development. Be a generalist. No more, I don’t know CSS, JS and HTML Look for light-weight alternatives. REST, WebAPI, JSON Understand the Domain and Business – Programming is just one part! › Understand Product Vision, Sponsors, Customers, End-users, importance of User experience › Cloud Compute aware coding – Know when Cloud Footprint is high › Keep Cloud Footprint low using Stateless, Light-weight, Non Compute heavy, Less memory usage code Understand Performance, Security, SEO and other nonfunctional expectations Build for Change and be Agile! › Keep patterns like Dependency Injection in your arsenal.
