In this chapter, we have gone over creating an enterprise framework to handle the essential needs of most web applications. We have discussed design patterns, best practices, and some tools to make things easier. We also worked through some code to create wrappers for the basic framework classes that we will be using in our application. We discussed how we will approach our data access using some new technologies and existing patterns. Finally, we wrapped things up with a discussion on error handling and logging. This chapter should provide you with a solid foundation on top of which we can now begin to build our application.
