Developing Real-world Applications with LightSwitch

Developing Real-world Applications with LightSwitch

In 2010, Microsoft announced LightSwitch, a product aimed at developing Line-of-Business applications with ease. In July 2011, the beta tag was finally removed from the product as Microsoft officially introduced Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 as a new member of the Visual Studio family. Many however are still unsure about the product. Questions crossing a lot of minds include â€œIs it something for me?â€, â€œWhat can I do with it?â€, â€œWhere should I use it?â€, â€œIs it more than Microsoft Access?â€, â€œAm I limited to whatâ€™s in the box?â€ and quite a few more.

For this reason, I have decided that an ebook should be in place to give you a clear understanding of LightSwitch. I wonâ€™t be saying that you should use LightSwitch for this or that. Using a sample application we will build throughout the series, I will try giving you an overview of how we can use it to build a real-world application. By reading this ebook, I hope youâ€™ll be able to make up your mind whether or not LightSwitch is something for you.

More specifically, I plan the following topics to be tackled along the way:

â€¢What is LightSwitch and where I see it being useful
â€¢The concepts of a LightSwitch application
â€¢Data in more detail
â€¢Screens in more detail
â€¢Queries in more detail
â€¢Writing business logic and validation
â€¢Managing security in a LightSwitch application
â€¢Deploying a LightSwitch application
â€¢Extensions - what and how
â€¢Using custom Silverlight controls in LightSwitch
â€¢Adapting the LightSwitch UI to your needs
â€¢Using RIA Services
