ADC SoundBytes September – October 2009

The ADC Team has two SoundBytes scheduled over the coming months. One is a repeat of a popular session by Ryan Simpson, and the other is a new one delivered by Simon Ince. Ryan has also updated his session to include a brief overview of the new features in the Visual Studio 2010 Performance Tools.

 

The titles, dates, and abstracts are shown below.

 

The sessions are charged at the rate of 1 hour from your ADC contract, or 2 proactive hours from your Premier contract, if you haven’t yet got an ADC contract. For this price you may have up to 2 Live Meeting connections, and you are of course free to use these to broadcast to a room full of people in your office.

 

If you require further information on this subject after the event, you can of course engage with the ADC team as usual to setup a suitable session.

Debugging and Tuning AJAX Applications (Simon Ince)

Date & Time

 Friday 25th September 2009 from 11:00 – 12:00 UK Time

Level

200

Abstract

As web applications demand richer content so the complexity and volume of client-side code increases. Pushing this processing to the browser means that end users can experience errors or performance degradation without the developer’s knowledge. This session looks at a set of tools and techniques that will help you understand and remediate performance or functional problems within your AJAX code. Examples will be in ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 SP1, jQuery, and C#.

Introduction to the .NET Performance Analysis Tools in Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 (Ryan Simpson)

Date & Time

Friday 23rd October 2009 from 11:00 – 12:00 UK Time

Level

300

Abstract

Visual Studio 2005 Team System introduced the code profiler for profiling both native and managed code, which was included and improved in 2008. In this session we’ll look at the toolset and the process you can use to find and fix memory and CPU bottlenecks in your code, and how we can use the GUI and command line tool set in both development, test, and production environments to the same effect. We’ll also have a quick look at the additions in Visual Studio 2010.
