This One Goes Up To 11, or How To Write Scalable ASP.NET

Phil Pursglove will discuss his hot tips for writing scalable Web applications.

So you've written the new MySpace and it's getting lots of use - but the more users you get, the s-l-o-w-e-r the whole thing runs.

In this session we'll discuss strategies, hints and tips that you can use to write ASP.NET that scales effectively as your user base grows.

This will include: - how to cache HTML output so your page doesn't have to render every time. - how to cache data so you don't have to get it from the database every time. - how to reduce your Viewstate to a few bytes in just three lines of code. - how to shrink your JavaScript so it gets to the client faster. - why letting the GridView do its' own paging is a bad idea. - an introduction to Project Velocity, Microsoft's new caching engine.

Phil Pursglove is a Senior Software Developer with WSP Group in Cambridge. He has worked with the .Net Framework since its' inception and was one of the first developers to gain the MCSD qualification for .Net. Phil has been involved with the UK Microsoft community for over five years and has presented at user groups and conferences. Away from the keyboard his interests are his XBox 360, cooking, and fencing.

    I worked with Mike for nearly a year at Nationwide and he is one of
those folks that is hard to forget. Passionate about the work and
hungry to learn. He was one of the driving forces behind the most
experimental team I have had the pleasure to coach. Enjoy. -bob
