All working together to create amazing solutions.
Let's look at each of the 6 sections.

Proven Design Patterns
We've created the most comprehensive collection of design patterns ever put together. From the classic Gang of Four patterns to the modern Design Patterns 2.0. Each one painstakingly curated with optimized C# and real-world examples.
Gang of Four Design Patterns.
Building a solid pattern foundation.

Explore all 23 Gang of Four (GoF) patterns and harness the power of the very best patterns in your own projects. Which ones? Hint: Factory, Strategy, Facade, and Builder might just be included.

You are getting three versions of each GoF pattern: structural, real-world, and .NET optimized. With Dofactory .NET you have these patterns available at your fingertips -- anytime you need them.


Bonus: Head First Design Patterns.
Having fun with design patterns.

Head First Design Patterns is a whimsical Java design pattern book that has taken the community by storm. With Dofactory .NET you have access to optimized C# versions of these fun design patterns.

Enterprise Design Patterns.
Scale your apps farther and faster.

Enterprise Design Patterns focus on data access and performance. Learn to develop scalable enterprise solutions with patterns like Repository, Unit of Work, Active Record, Data Mapper, and many more.

Explore these enterprise architecture patterns in a real-world setting with an Enterprise style reference solution. Discover where in the stack each pattern is best used for maximum benefit.

Model View Design Patterns.
A family of architectural patterns.

Explore this family of 3 architectural patterns: MVC, MVP, and MVVM. Understand their differences, their similarities, and then optimize your applications around the appropriate model.




Design Patterns 2.0.
Meet the next generation.

Design Patterns 2.0 has arrived! Launch your applications, and your career, to greater heights with modern patterns like CQRS, Cache, Low-Code, Low-Query, ActionModel, and Lazy Injection.

Ultra-Clean™ Architecture
The design patterns will teach you a ton, but you still need a place to make them shine. This is where you need the right architecture.
We tested many different architectures, but, without exception, we found that they would slow us down. So we built the Ultra-Clean™ Architecture to solve it.
The Ultra-Clean Architecture™ is a lightweight, ultra-effective architecture that has been handcrafted to perfection. No stone was left unturned to create the best foundation for rapid, clean development.
Ultra-Clean™ Architecture.
The future of rapid .NET development.

Meet the new architecture that is almost no architecture. There is so little code, and it's so clean. And with so much functionality it's hard to believe it's even possible. But it is. Experience rapid development like never before.

Ultra-Clean™ Architecture
No Lock-in.
Mix and match with your own architecture.

The Ultra-Clean™ Architecture suggests how and where you write your business code, but you're always free to do it your own way. There is never a lock-in or conflict. So refreshing -- and so liberating.

No Lock-in
Modular.
Separation of concern -- the right way.

Drive productivity by partitioning your projects into distinct modules. We call them vertical slices. Modules help separate your code so you can make changes without affecting other code. Modules are a core concept in the Ultra-Clean™ Architecture.

Modular

Low-code, Low-query
How many times have you tried to complete an application feature, only to find yourself in the weeds with what seems like a totally unrelated detail?
This has always been a huge point of frustration for us with our own work, because it was holding us back. So, we set out to solve this.
The solution includes Low-code and Low-query innovations which allows you to focus on completing a task with just a few lines of hyper-focused code. And it reduces the code you write by up to 50%.
Low-Code

Low-Code
Less code. More results.

Low-code is like power programming. In a few minutes you can accomplish what would have taken hours, or even days, before. Just be forwarned: the low-code experience can be exhilarating.

Low-Query

Low-Query
Fewer queries. Same data.

Low-query is an pattern that reduces page queries down to a single database query without table joins. Increase performance and simplify your code with queries that are super easy on the database.

50% Less Code

50% Less Code
Build lightweight apps fast.

Write 50% less code with low-code and low-query techniques. Build a light-weight codebase that is simple and effective. The results? Rapid development, fewer bugs, and faster to market. Brilliant.

Design Excellence™ (DX)
When developers, designers, and database professionals work together it can be difficult to agree on the best design and architecture for an application. Each has their own perspective, objectives, and vocabulary.
Design Excellence™ (DX) offers a unified approach in which the layers (front-end, middle-tier, database) work together to form a coherent unit in which each part plays an equally important role -- unlike DDD where the domain model is the 'center of the universe' and everyone else has to adjust.
And DX comes with its own application design vocabulary (about 20 terms) that everybody can understand and agree on.
Design Excellence™ (DX)
No-friction design.

Learn to design solutions without friction between the layers. Simplify your design by merging the domain model and data model into a single model. No duplication. No impedance mismatch. Full stack has never been so simple.

Design Excellence™ (DX)
Delight your users
Give users fully functional apps.

Start your design with CRUD actions followed by Ancillary actions. With those two steps your design is functionally complete, meaning, users have full control over their records which they love.

Delight your users
Clean Design
Create clean and intuitive apps.

With DX you learn simple application design concepts that make your solutions absolutely simple and intuitive to use. Consistency and predictability are going to be a hallmark of your app designs.

Clean Design

Code Excellence™ (CX)
Creating Visual Studio solutions that are simple and easy-to-understand is important. First, it provides a mental map of the application architecture, and, secondly, it increases discoverability with files and classes that are easily accessible.
Knowing this, we started re-structuring solutions by removing inefficiencies that we found were hindering us in our progress. These changes affected all folders, files, classes, and code. Today our solutions are an absolute delight to work with.
This new solution structure is documented in our Code Excellence™ (CX) guide. Once you’ve worked with CX, there is no going back to the 'Old Code' solutions. The good news is that you don't have to!
Code Excellence™ (CX)

Code Excellence™ (CX)
Create a better work environment.

Code Excellence™ redefines clean code and code quality. Learn how to structure your projects, areas, controllers, views, and classes for a better, cleaner codebase.

Discoverability

Discoverability
Get more done with fewer clicks.

Code discoverability measures how many clicks it takes to locate a particular file, class, or interface. CX optimizes your codebase by drastically reducing the number of clicks.

Clean Code

Clean Code
Increase productivity with clean code.

With CX you'll learn the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. Clean code bring clarity to your code -- and your brain. Your productivity as a .NET developer will never be the same.

33-Day App Factory™
It all started when we set out to fix the problem of never-ending projects. And, here we are today with the solution: our 33-day App Factory™.
The App Factory™ is a step-by-step, day-by-day guide that allows you to build fully functional applications in just 33 days. We took everything presented in this package -- patterns, tactics, architecture, low-code, and much more -- and assembled it into the easiest, fastest developer solution ever built.
If you’re starting a new project, we encourage you do it with the 33-day App Factory™. You’ll save yourself a ton of agony. And you get to enjoy a whole new developer experience.

33 Days

Code please!

As a .NET developer you spend most of your day in Visual Studio. It's your home and you want your home to be as comfortable as possible.

Unfortunately, standard Visual Studio projects aren't very inviting. They are awkward to navigate with too many folders and subfolders for Controllers, Models, and Views. Not very homey.

Creating a homey project

Dofactory .NET fixes this with a project structure that you can call 'home'. As a first step, there is just one project in a solution, and this project has just 4 main folders.

Their names have been carefully chosen -- Areas, Code, Domain, and Data. Not only are they short and descriptive, they're also sorted by frequency of use.

The heat map below shows that the most frequently used folders are at the top (the red and reddish ones). This is perfect, because those folders are also the easiest to access.

Modules

Expanding the Areas folder we see the application's modules.

This app has 18 modules, one in each Area. But these are no ordinary Areas. They are Flat Areas, that is, Areas without subfolders. A Flat Area has all its files in a single folder including controllers, models, and views.

With a structure like this, your work is easier and much more enjoyable. Let's look at the Users module as an example.

You won't leave this folder when working on User pages. All files are at your fingertips.

Notice that views and model files have the same name, for example, Detail.cs and Detail.cshtml, Edit.cs and Edit.cshtml, and others. These files are sorted by name and each pair appears side by side. This is ideal!

Controllers

This application is low-code. What does this mean?.

Let's look at the UsersController. Just 38 lines of code for the entire controller!

The controller has two groups of action methods: CRUD and Ancillary (see comments above). CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete, which are the fundamental record operations. Most controllers in the Ultra-Clean architecture have 5 CRUD action methods. Ancillary methods are application specific and their numbers usually vary from 0 to 4 or 5.

Looking at the action methods notice they all redirect their requests to their models. These models are no ViewModels, they are ActionModels, a new and exciting pattern.

ActionModels

An ActionModel is a ViewModel on steriods. Below is an outline of a typical ActionModel. This one handles the entire Edit request - both GET and POST.

Most ActionModels have the same 4 regions: Data, Handlers, Helpers, and Mapping.

The Data region holds the posted data -- just like a ViewModel. The Handlers region processes the GET and POST requests. Helpers has optional helper methods. And Mapping is where AutoMapper mappings are defined, just for this Edit request.

An ActionModel is a single class that handles a request entirely by itself. It holds the posted data, and performs validation, data access, and object mapping -- totally encapsulated and in one place (i.e. SOLID).

So, if there is a bug on your Edit page, you know the one place where to go look (the Edit ActionModel) . Support and maintenance are super easy with ActionModels.

Some of you may see similarities with MediatR, but there really is no comparison: ActionModels are so much simpler and easier to work with.

Handlers

Let's have a quick look at the handlers which are methods that process a request. This one handles the List page (GET) request. It's called GetAsync.

This simple 5-line method renders the complete Opportunities list page you see below, including filters, sorting, and pagination. Quite amazing. And it does this with a single query without table joins (this is the Low-query pattern).

Pages like this are high performance, easy on the database, and also easy on you, the developer. Imagine your productivity in this environment!



Dependency Injection

Did you notice there is no dependency injection in the above code examples? Neither in the Controller, nor in the ActionModels. Actually there is plenty, but it's handled entirely by a single base class, named BaseModel, using a revolutionary pattern called Lazy Injection.

Lazy Injection is a new and exciting pattern: it only returns a service when actually requested -- not when the class is created (which happens with constructor injection).

Lazy Injection makes coding so much easier. You simply focus on building your applications and not worry about what services to inject into your classes. In addition, your code runs faster because only services that are actually used will be created.
