.NET Tuning, Debugging, and Optimization From Modulus Training

Sponsored links

Microsoft .NET applications must be thoroughly tested, debugged, and optimized
before deployment, to ensure high performance and robust solutions. This course is
designed for intermediate programmers to quickly come up to speed on techniques for
debugging and optimizing .NET programs. It also covers tuning applications after they
have been deployed.
This course is designed for using the C# programming language. However, the
techniques for debugging a .NET program do not generally depend on the programming
language used to develop the application. Therefore, this course would also be useful
to programmers who use other .NET languages, such as VB.NET. However, all example
code and lab exercises are provided in C#.
The course incorporates a case study approach, involving use of many important
features of the .NET Framework, including Windows Forms, ASP.NET Web Forms, Web
services, and XML. The case study can serve as an effective vehicle for review or
gaining exposure to these technologies, and so can be suitable for project leaders and
architects who need a good understanding of .NET but may not have the time to take a
complete curriculum of courses.
This course is practical, with many example program that demonstrate effective
debugging and optimizing techniques. The goal is to quickly bring you up to speed in
the development of effective and reliable .NET applications. The student will receive
a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes, programming examples, and
lab exercises.
