.NET Tuning, Debugging, and Optimization
Rev. 1.0
.NET Training Overview

Microsoft .NET applications must be thoroughly tested, debugged, and optimized before deployment, to ensure high performance and robust solutions. This course is designed for the experienced programmer 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.

.NET Training Learning Objectives

  • Acquire a working knowledge of .NET diagnostic classes and tools
  • Learn how to debug .NET applications
  • Become proficient in optimizing and tuning .NET applications
.NET Training Prerequisites

The student should be an experienced .NET application developer.

.NET Training Course duration

4 days. Students who already have a good knowledge of topics such as Windows Forms, Web Forms and Web services may be able to do the course in 3 days, and others would benefit from 4 days.
