4:30 to 5:00pm Networking and Pizza 5:00 PM: Technical Talks (1 talk) Title: Performance Engineering using Visual Studio in the era of Cloud Computing Description: A high performance application doesn't happen by accident. It requires serious engineering efforts that start well before a single line of code is written and continues long after the product is released to the public. Many organizations still follow the decades old mindset of either no performance testing at all or only do it if there is any time left at end of release cycle (Does it ever happen???). With more and more applications moving into cloud environment hosting complex multi-tenant application servers, it’s even more important for developers to pay attention to the “cost” of their code right from the very beginning of development cycle. In this presentation, Kamran will showcase how Visual Studio features like PerfTips, Diagnostics Hub and Performance Analyzer can help developers measure the cost of their code in a meaningful manner.
