There has been a large push to simplicity in the J2EE world. Justin Gehtland, coauthor of Better, Faster, Lighter Java, knows that these ideas are equally applicable to the .NET world. He gives examples of how you can write Better, Faster, Lighter, .Net code.justin's Core Principles
Keep It Simple Do One Thing, And Do IT Well Strive For Transparency You Are What You Eat Allow for Extension
As you can see, there is plenty of needless complexity piling up all over the development landscape, and one of the principal tasks of any programmer is recognizing the bloat for what it is, and avoiding it where possible. .NET is no more immune to this problem than Java is. For that matter, as my good friend Ted Neward points out in his blog, ".NET is Microsoft's solution to the bloat build-up in COM." If we know anything about the technology industry, it's that history repeats itself. Programmers need to take it upon themselves to limit the bloat, and prune the complexity that is keeping their applications from living the good life. I hope these five principles give you a starting point for examining the choices and assumptions you have made about Your Projects, And Give You Some Ideas of Ways To Make Your Programming Life More Simple and Fun Again.
