ASP.NET MVC Razor Syntax which is rendered via the Razor View Engine has been around a while. Razor is the new defacto standard for server rendered ASP.NET web applications, having surpassed the ASP.NET Web Forms technology due to its ease and flexibility particularly due to its natural melding of C# and HTML syntax, design time error detection and template capabilities.

A simple overview of coding Design Patterns, described originally by the Gang of Four, which support better code quality through the use of well-defined purpose driven components
tags: design, pattern
The Abstract Factory pattern helps objects create and interact with general types, leaving the actual concrete implementation of types and their members business logic to concrete types. This aids decoupling general behaviors from specific case behaviors
tags: design, pattern
The Factory design pattern assists the creation of an object, but defers the decision about which class to instantiate to subclasses which were built with the job of making those decisions.

An object which represents another object or data record, and by doing so, simplifies and abstract the application from the delegating object

GIT is a popular source control repository supporting a local + remote architecture for storing independent but linked copies of the source code. This pattern assists offline development activity, as changes can still be committed to the local store, and then later merged into a central server store, once connectivity is available.

The reason some applications are a pleasure to use typically is because they have been extensively designed to be that way, using thoughtful consideration of the inherent way humans interact with systems. This reduces the friction between the system and encourages better uptake of the final product.
