Professional ASP.NET Design Patterns
Design patterns are time-tested solutions to recurring problems, letting the designer build programs on solutions that have already proved effective Provides developers with more than a dozen ASP.NET examples showing standard design patterns and how using them helpsbuild a richer understanding of ASP.NET architecture, as well as better ASP.NET applications Builds a solid understanding of ASP.NET architecture that can be used over and over again in many projects Covers ASP.NET code to implement many standard patterns including Model-View-Controller (MVC), ETL, Master-Master Snapshot, Master-Slave-Snapshot, Facade, Singleton, Factory, Single Access Point, Roles, Limited View, observer, page controller, common communication patterns, and more

Book introduces design patterns such as Null object pattern, state pattern, singleton, adaptor pattern, factory method, decorator, template method, strategy pattern, etc. that you can use in data access layer, business layer, and presentation layer. There are also sample codes.

Definetely the best tech book i ve ever read. He explains lots of best practices from great ppl like Martin Fawler, Robert C. Martin and Eric Evans in a manner that is very easy to understand.Most importantly its in C# and also the book was written in early 2010, so its pretty new stuff. It explains concepts using things like EF, ASP.NET MVC and also mentions lots of open source tools we can use. Maybe little bit too overwhelming if you are new, but i read most of the other concepts from books like Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture so that they made sense to me.

(Reading dates are approximate, as is often the case with my reviews, this time because I was reading two other programming books concurrently, and I got a bit hazy as to where one began and the other ended.)
This is a straightforward tutorial on ASP.NET WebForms development. Example code is in C#. When I bought this book, nearly a decade ago, .NET 4.0 was the most recent version, and the code assumes that version. (So any version of Visual Studio from 2010 on up should work fine.) Like a handful of my other quite-useful-but-tragically-concealed-until-recently books, it was stored in a warehouse until just over a month ago. Undoubtedly there are more current resources available today, but you can't beat WROX for depth, and if you're gonna start somewhere, this is a better spot than most.
I'd recommend this as Prong Three of a three-pronged course in modern Web development. The O'Reilly publication RESTful Web Services will get you started with REST and programmable-Web concepts, and then RESTful .NET will apply them to the .NET realm. That should cover the programmable Web fairly nicely, after which you'll want to use this one to cover the human-readable Web. You'll get a very thorough treatment of design patterns, which are not really touched on in the other two. Plus, you know, all that UI stuff, which falls outside the purview of Webservices.
These three books should cover the back end and programmable aspects of Web development tolerably well, and this one will bring some UI design to bear, especially if you download the complete source code library from the WROX side (to complete the case study project, Agatha's Clothing). But to be perfectly rounded, you'll want to additionally pursue some instruction in HTML5 and the various Javascript libraries currently in vogue. There is very little in the way of HTML design in this book, although you will learn some Silverlight, which utilizes XAML, the same technology underlying Windows Presentation Foundation.
One thing I value about this book is that it provides a pretty decent overview of design patterns in general at the start, and then dives deeply into how to implement the more Web-centric ones. As a developer, you should at least be familiar with the 23 Gang of Four patterns, and those are all touched on here, but there are many others that are useful in the context of Web development, particularly Model-View-Presenter and Model-View-Controller, which is highly demanded right now. Work through the examples (I'm still doing this, although I finished "reading" the book a couple weeks back) and then update your resume to reflect MVC. Then maybe spend some time designing new UIs to hang on the codebase you developed through the sample code, and build yourself a nice portfolio.
That's what I'm doing.

A must read for any asp.net software developer. If you are a junior programmer who has just started programming, you might have a little bit of difficulty absorbing everything, but you will definitely get better after reading this. This book serves as a solid foundation for better designing. The explanations in this book are simple and easy-to-understand yet pretty comprehensive.

Really great, practical application of design patterns. I started reading this right after completing Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, so this really cemented some of those concepts.

One of the best design pattern/architecture books I've encountered. Must read.

Ok as a reference. Not a great choice for a book club.

this books summarizes all OOD theory and practice I had gathered left end right in one comprehensive overview. I'm sure it will help me in building more robust applications.
