The workshop covered the best practices for building highly scalable and high performance applications using Microsoft Platform. This included the basics of performance tuning, diagnosing performance issues using various tools and fixing them, as well as issues related to .NET Framework/CLR/ASP.NET, Microsoft SQL Server, Windows family of operating system, etc. The following sessions were held:

This session covered basic concepts involved in designing high performance applications. Building a high performant application requires a good engineering culture and a deep knowledge of the computer architecture and other higher level frameworks and software that are required to build such an application. The session started with a discussion around the engineering culture and tools that are required and was followed by a discussion on the basic concepts of the computer architecture, windows operating system and .NET Framework.

This session covered some of the techniques required for designing highly scalable and high performance .NET Framework based applications. A discussion on techniques for diagnosing some of the most commonly occurring issues with .NET Framework and a demonstration on identifying and fixing them with the use of the diagnostic tools were held.

This session discussed the techniques for diagnosing some of the most commonly occurring issues with SQL Server demonstrations on identifying and fixing them using the diagnostic tools. This was preceded by a discussion on some of the techniques required for designing highly scalable and high performance database layer(s).
