March Event: Scale .NET Apps w/Distributed Caching & Async Methods

This march we will have two great presentations!

How to Scale .NET Apps with Distributed Caching
Learn what the scalability bottlenecks for your .NET applications are and how you can improve their scalability with distributed caching.

This talk will cover:

• Quick overview of scalability bottlenecks in .NET applications

I'll Get Back to You: Task, Await, and Asynchronous Methods
There's a lot of confusion about async/await, Task/TPL, and asynchronous and parallel programming in general. So let's start with the basics and look at how we can consume asynchronous methods using Task and then see how the "await" operator can makes things easier for us. Along the way, we’ll look at continuations, cancellation, and exception handling.
