Heads UP

It’s the end of civilization as we have know it, Rory is doing a Webcast in about an hours time: 9am Pacific Time, 12PM EST.

Test-Driven Development Features in Visual Studio 2005 (Level 300)

This session highlights two useful features in Visual Studio 2005 that help developers improve the performance and quality of their software. Learn how the built-in profiler monitors the execution of a running program and generates detailed reports on the application's behavior that can be used to identify those bottlenecks that most affect the program's performance. We will also show how to take advantage of the support for test-driven development in Visual Studio 2005 to ensure that you are preserving the integrity of your existing code as you enhance or extend your solutions. 

 

Presenter: Rory Blyth, MSDN Developer Community Champion, Microsoft Corporation

 

Post Webcast Edit: Rory did a great job, you'd have thought he had been doing Webcasts for years!

I'm not going to miss this months meeting, we're carpooling down the Garden State Parkway for this one. Our very own Jeff Lyttle from Microsoft Consulting is giving the talk, a year ago he used a beta copy of Yukon now known as SQL Server 2005 for our community website NJMSDEV.ORG. There were no doc's just bits, but Jeff writes code for a living so he was able to get all the bits to do what was needed.
