Are .NET technical skills enough? Having mastered a .NET software language and then learnt to build, debug and deploy .NET applications, are you now asking: 

How do I implement common design patterns in .NET?
How do I reuse my code between projects?
Why does a small change seriously break my project code?
What will be my test strategy and will I get good test coverage?

Building quality real-world applications requires more than a software language and a groovy IDE. You need good practices to be effective and productive
