In Modern Web Development, internationally renowned software developer Dino Esposito introduces a pragmatic, problem-driven, and user-focused approach to designing and building dynamic web solutions. Rather than stretching one or two technologies or platforms to solve problems they weren't optimally designed for, Esposito helps you draw upon – and seamlessly integrate – today's best Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies and development paradigms. Esposito shows experienced developers and solution architects how to drive more value from Microsoft technologies such as ASP.NET 5, MVC, SignalR, Entity Framework, and Web Forms, by using them in conjunction with other technologies, including Bootstrap, JavaScript, AngularJS, Ajax, JSON, and JQuery. You'll master a comprehensive, carefully organized process for planning, architecting, and developing dynamic web applications. Esposito begins with Domain-Driven Design (DDD), selection of supporting architecture, and UX-first design… continues with the choice of specific technologies; then reviews development details for those technologies… and closes with advanced user experience topics such as adding interactivity, responsive design, and device detection. Using his approach, you can build better web solutions faster, with less cost and hassle -- solving the specific problems you face, while delivering an outstanding user experience Comprehensive and pragmatic: shows how to leverage the best Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies together Covers Domain Driven Design (DDD), architecture and technology selection, user experience focus, and other key aspects of dynamic site development Offers practical insights for working with ASP.NET 5, MVC, SignalR, Entity Framework, Web Forms, Bootstrap, JavaScript, AngularJS, Ajax, JSON/JQuery, and Single Page Applications
