Working on the project "New Solutions in Visual Studio 2013" of the BANESE bank, which gave me
experience in a large company and the ability to work with cross-functional teams.
The objectives of this project are the following:
• Create a new UI design pattern for new applications with new technologies like HTML5, CSS3 and
ASP.NET MVC 5.
• Create a strategy for migrate legacy systems developed in .NET Framework 1.1 to the .NET
Framework 4.5.
• Create a new user experience using the concepts of UX design to ensure good usability and
accessibility to access legacy systems from web or mobile devices.
• Define a new tiered architecture in order to facilitate the combination of approaches and code reuse,
also enabling the anticipation of future needs.
 
After the first phase of this project, we started testing it in the business information system. The current
business information system is a legacy system made in .NET Framework 1.1. On the front-end we use
the new standard developed and on the back-end we rewrite the code in the new architecture and .NET
Framework 4.5. It was also used Entity Framework 5 as ORM framework and Ninject as dependency
injection framework.
