Some patterns I’ve usually encountered while working code bases written by .net developers. You can also read more on msdn. Domain driven design inspired Usually you find classes with postfix name like: Repository : List like interface for working with persisted data. Usually state of fetched objects is tracked, so you can do customerContext.Save() to persist changes to objects. Service Related concepts People are often confused by “Unit of work” also mentioned in connection to these patterns. M[...]
