" Great code has many attributes. It's effective, efficient, maintainable, elegant. When working on code with many developers and teams and maybe even companies, great code needs to also be consistent and easy to understand. For that purpose there are style guides.

" Naked Objects takes a domain object model, written as POCOs but following a few very simple conventions, and dynamically creates one or more complete user interfaces for it, using reflection (not 'code generation' or 'scaffolding'). It is highly effective in support of Domain-Driven Design, OO Modelling, and/or Agile Development. Naked Objects MVC builds upon the core framework to create a complete web-based user interface, using ASP.NET MVC 3. The generic user interface may be customised via the .CSS, by adding custom views, or custom controllers, as needed. Entity Framework is used to persist objects on a database. Security may be handled simply via Forms Authentication and attribute-based authorisation, or more comprehensively via Microsoft WIF and an STS. "

"Optimizing application performance is a key element for business. There are several ways by which we can optimize the applications performance. It can be done either by server side code optimization, caching or some client side optimization. In this post I am going to discuss about one handy and smart way to optimize web applications performance using Bundling and Minification features which is introduced with ASP.NET 4.5 Developer Preview. ASP.NET 4.5 Developer Preview introduced bundling, which combines multiple JavaScript files for faster loading with less number of requests for download and minification, which reduces the size of JavaScript and CSS files by removing unneeded characters . Combination of these bundling and minification helps web pages to load very faster. Let's have a looks how it works."
