Oops Principles

The Liskov Substitution Principle

Derived classes must be substitutable for their base classes.

dEPENDENY iNVERSION
A. HIGH LEVEL MODULES SHOULD NOT DEPEND UPON LOW
LEVEL MODULES. BOTH SHOULD DEPEND UPON ABSTRACTIONS.
B. ABSTRACTIONS SHOULD NOT DEPEND UPON DETAILS. DETAILS
SHOULD DEPEND UPON ABSTRACTIONS.

OOPS Principle Redifiened
http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.PrinciplesOfOod
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/publishedArticles.html

The Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
CLIENTS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO DEPEND UPON INTERFACES
THAT THEY DO NOT USE.
When clients are forced to depend upon interfaces that they don’t use, then those clients
are subject to changes to those interfaces. This results in an inadvertent coupling between
all the clients. Said another way, when a client depends upon a class that contains interfaces
that the client does not use, but that other clients do use, then that client will be
affected by the changes that those other clients force upon the class.

The Common Reuse Principle (CRP)
THE CLASSES IN A PACKAGE ARE REUSED TOGETHER. IF YOU
REUSE ONE OF THE CLASSES IN A PACKAGE, YOU REUSE THEM
ALL.

Version Control like svn, or git, ...

automated build a build definition that works without manual steps is really important

UnitTesting to start implementing testing

if you have implemented all of the above start thinking about

code metrics like codecoverage of the unittests, qualitymetrics, ...

Sessions, Instancing and Concurrency in WCF Services
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff183865.aspx

You can use the IsInitiating property of the OperationContract attribute to control whether a method

can start a session. The default value of this property is true, so the first call to any method

starts the session. If you set this property to false for a method, then clients cannot call that

method until after they call a method that starts a session.

Transactions in WCF Services
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff384250.aspx

To add transaction support to a WCF service, you will take the following actions:

    * Add transaction support to the service contract. This is required.
    * Add transaction support to the code that implements the service contract. This is required.
    * Configure transactions in the implementation code. This is optional.
    * Enable transactions on the binding. This is required.

To start a transaction in the client application, you must take the following actions:

    * Add transaction support to the proxy class.
    * Enable transactions on the binding.
    * Use the TransactionScope class to start a transaction.

Message Patterns in WCF Services
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ff395349.aspx

These are request-reply, one-way (also called datagram), and duplex (also called callback).

The final thing you need to do to configure the service for duplex communication is change the

binding wsDualHttpBinding

message )
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730255%28v=VS.90%29.aspx

when the type is used in an operation.
