Lesson 2: Architectural Patterns
• Understanding Design Patterns
• Choosing Design Patterns
Design patterns:Design patterns:
Understanding Design Patterns
• Are a formal way to document a solution for a problem
• Should explain a common problem in abstract terms
• Should present a solution in abstract terms
• Describe when you should apply the pattern

Presentation patterns:Presentation patterns:
Choosing Design Patterns
• Model-View-Controller• Decouples the user interface from the data model
• Most suitable for Web development
• Model-View-Presenter• Evolves the MVC pattern for event-driven applications
• Most suitable for forms-over-data development
• Model-View-ViewModel • Evolves from the MVP pattern
• Most suitable for WPF applications
• Model-View-Controller• Decouples the user interface from the data model

Lab Scenario
You are working as an expert Windows client developer for Adventure Works Cycles. You have been asked to analyze the business requirements to determine which Windows client technology and design principles should be used for a range of application developments that support the goals of the business.
Lab Review
Review Questions
• What is the most appropriate Windows client technology for you to use when you have an existing Windows Forms code-base where you have been asked to add a small amount of simple functionality?
• What Windows client technology and design pattern are the most appropriate when you are starting a new application development, where testing the separation of concerns is an important factor?
