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 non-functional expectations Build for Change and be Agile! Keep patterns like Dependency Injection in your arsenal. Develop With Passion : It makes all the difference

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

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

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
