High Performance Coding with .NET Core and C#

Learn how to write high performance and scalable .NET Core and ASP.NET Core applications in C#

Created by: Gergely Kalapos

What Will I Learn?

• Get an overview about the current stage of the .NET platform with focus on .NET Core, ASP .NET Core, and C# 7 with their performance aspects
• Get to know tools which are essential to measure the performance of a .NET Core application: Visual Studio Performance Tools, PerfView, BenchmarkDotNet, Perf and LTTng on Linux, Prefix, MiniProfiler
• Performance characteristics of value types and reference types, the effect of async/await on performance, and performance of collections in the base library
• Behind the scenes knowledge about C# 7: you will see what the compiler generates from C# 7 code and what performance implications this has on your application
• New performance related APIs like Span, ArrayPool
• Data access performance with Entity Framework Core
• Ahead of time compilation for .NET Core with CrossGen, and removing dead code with the .NET IL Linker
• Production monitoring for .NET Core and ASP .NET Core with Application Insights and Dynatrace

Requirements

• You should have some experience with the .NET framework
• You already created at least 1 application either with .NET Core or with the .NET Classic framework
• A little bit of .NET Core experience helps, but if you have solid a solid .NET Classic background, then it's also fine

Target audience

• If you are a .NET Core developer and you want to make sure your application does not break under production load then this course is for you!
• Furthermore, if you are interested in performance and you like looking behind the scenes and understanding what really happens in your application then you will also find this course interesting.
