Presentation Topics:
1. Building High Performance Applications for .NET.
Speaker: Vinay Ahuja
This session will look at several techniques and best practices for creating highly performant applications using .NET Framework. We'll describe some of the key CLR concepts related to memory management and garbage collection, that are critical to our understanding of building high performance applications. We'll show how you can leverage parallel programming and multi-threading to make your applications more responsive and faster. The most essential step in writing high performance applications is to learn how to measure performance. We'll look at some tools to measure performance. To measure performance effectively, it is very important to define performance goals. We'll look at a process for creating performance goals. We'll conclude by looking briefly at the upcoming Parallel Framework (PFx) for .NET Framework 3.5.

About Jonathan Bates
Jonathan Bates is involved in the local development community, once even serving time as the President of the Jacksonville Developers User Group.
He has had a long and storied path on the way to I.T. work. At one point, Jonathan had a near Neo-Luddite position about computers, believing them at worst to be the means to humanity's eventual slavery and at best tools for general evil. After landing a job powered by such advanced technologies as Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and MS Access, Jonathan began to change his opinion on computers. He began to believe that they might be for more than just improving the display and sound qualities on his Laserdisc movies. In time, he came to see that computers were nothing more than tools, not much different then a hammer (though not as good to drive nails with).
Jonathan Bates is an industry-certified and proven developer and trainer, facilitating the transfer of knowledge from conceptual client request to delivered and implemented solution. Jonathan enjoys sharing his knowledge and understanding about development principals with like-minded people. You can generally find him enjoying good company discussing his personal Unified Theory and how programming can be used to describe it. And if you can't find him, drop him a line with a time and place and he'll find you.
