Workshop: Mastering .NET Memory Management

Location:

Level: 
Advanced

When:

1:00pm - 4:00pm

Go deep into one of the most critical aspects of .NET performance: Garbage Collection. Correctly managing memory can make or break your application and is the difference between a well-performing app and a disaster of resource usage. This will be an interactive workshop, combining lecture with hands on practice with tools. You will learn how to use standard and perhaps new tools to measure critical performance areas in your own apps. You will dig deep to understand garbage collection and the .NET heap in a fundamental way.
