As former Microsoft engineers, James and I have a soft spot in our hearts for those guys back in Redmond and Bellevue. We spend some time digging into the background of .NET including the frameworks, architectures, common monitoring and optimization techniques and James even launches into a PerfRant about ASP.NET Viewstates. Don't miss that! Shout out to Clint Huffman and his Premiere Field Guide to performance.
