Synopses & Reviews
The technical book market today is flooded with a slew of titles on how to build applications with the .NET technology, and many are undoubtedly very good. But the majority of these titles simply take a how-to approach on programming with the .NET Framework. They often pay little more than cursory attention to the real-world issues and challenges that developers face. Performance is one of those challenges.
This book is for intermediate to advanced .NET developers who need answers to the hard questions on how to build high-performance ASP.NET applications. Authors Jeffrey Hasan and Kenneth Tu focus on how to make good design decisions for performance. They discuss how to develop applications with performance in mind. And they pay special attention to the tools available to developers to quantify and monitor performance issues and to diagnose performance problems more quickly.
Infused with the authors' collective experiences, gathered from years of building high-performance web applications, this is a book that developers will want to keep on the shelf for a long time. Table of Contents Introducing Performance Tuning and Optimization Introducing ASP.NET Applications Writing Optimized Data Access Code Optimizing Application and Session State Management Caching ASP.NET Applications Writing Optimized Web Services Stress Testing and Monitoring ASP.NET Applications Debugging and Tracing ASP.NET Applications
Synopsis
Key Note Performance Tuning and Optimization for ASP.NET Applications takes an in-depth look at performance tuning and optimization for ASP.NET applications. It can also serve as a reference for developers who are readying their ASP.NET Web applications for release, and who need to assess whether their application is achieving its optimum performance potential. Developers will appreciate how this book tackles the real-world challenges that they face in developing and launching high-performance ASP.NET Web applications.
Synopsis
11m INTERNET HAS DEVELOPED at an astonishing pace over the past several years. Until quite recently, most Web sites consisted of a collection of static pages linked in a web of hyperlinks and anchor tags. From these humble origins, a typical Web site today is a rich, graphically intense experience that interacts with the user. are more feature-rich than ever before, and developers face Currently, Web sites the dual challenges of delivering rich features and delivering good performance. The best Web site in the world will impress no one if the pages will not load quickly and the user is kept waiting. At best, you risk annoying the user and hav ing them leave your site, never to return. At worst, you can lose revenue if the site in question is a high-volume e-commerce site that must perform quickly and reliably for a large number of users. Today's sophisticated Web users demand functionality and performance, and they are unsympathetic to any tradeoff between the two. As a developer, and as a reader of this book, you need to know the tools and techniques to provide users with both. A Web application is simply a collection of display elements and busi ness components that collaborate to provide a workspace for accomplishing tasks."
