Once again a fantastic conference in Orlando. Dev Connections just keeps getting better and I always enjoy being part of it. Not to mention the weather in Orlando isn't bad!

Here are links to my code samples for each talk I delivered. Enjoy!

.NET Technology Roadmap Tutorial

• This tutorial provides an overview of all the key Microsoft technologies for today, tomorrow and the forseeable future - to help you understand and weigh choices for building web, windows and SOA applications.
• Links to the tutorial code can be found in this blog entry (keep an eye out for updates, additions over time):

ASP.NET Performance (Updated 06/07/2007)

Ok people, I had this in my Windows Live Writer to send a long time ago, and somehow it did not post...but since I haven't posted in a while I didn't notice. Many apologies for the delay. Does the "better late than never" statement apply here? I hope so...

• In this talk I covered a lot of ground, and theory around performance including simpler performance tips, the progression of asynchronous handlers to component distribution, and the importance of performance counters for your SLAs.
• You can look at my ASP.NET Sandboxing articles and samples for more resources on component distribution.
• ASP.NET Sandboxing - Part 1
• Code updated for ASP.NET 2.0: ASPNETSandboxing_updatedfor2.0.zip 
• ASP.NET Sandboxing - Part 2
• Code updated for ASP.NET 2.0: ASPNETSandboxing2_updatedfor2.0.zip
• See also the following data demos for examples of data caching
• DataDemos.zip
• DataAccessComparison.zip (this is a simple demo illustrating performance benefits of data reader over data set)
• My LocalizedGallery globalization example (posted here) illustrates the use of complex output caching based on custom caching by browser, culture and profile
• Asynchronous HTTP handlers:
• Rick Strahl did a great job documenting ASP.NET 2.0 threading model here
• Jeff Prosise and Fritz Onion wrote in-depth articles on the subject for 1.1 and 2.0 as well
• Here is an example showing how to create custom performance counters:
• PerfCounters.zip
• Here is an example illustrating some of the health monitoring configuration features of ASP.NET 2.0:
• HealthMonitoring.zip
