I have a fairly easy question that more likely than not has numerous subjective answers, but I need some help nonetheless.
I have programmed in .NET for a while mostly winform applications, but I have never “owned” a very large scale web project before. Well, that time has arrived and now that I am through gathering requirements I was horrified to realize that I couldn’t plan out directory architecture well.
In the classic ASP days I could easily visualize the cleanest structure for includes providing for clean code re-use and separation of file types (img,js,xml,swf folders etc). As the site drilled down the sub directory structure for various site components provided for ease of management too.
So my question is how do most of you design your directories to provide in growth in complexity in your code line for an ASP.NET site? There will be eventually 14 very separate and complex areas (used for financial and OLAP reporting), but a single header file in the ASP days would work fine here (page titles and meta data needs to be fetched from a table).
Any opinions would be great!
<== Some people say they are afraid of heights. With me its table widths. ==>
