Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The technical book market today is flooded with a slew of titles on how to build applications with the .NET technology, and many are undoubtedly very good. But the majority of these titles simply take a "how-to" approach on programming with the .NET Framework. They often pay little more than cursory attention to the real-world issues and challenges that developers face. Performance is one of those challenges.
This book is for intermediate to advanced .NET developers who need answers to the hard questions on how to build high-performance ASP.NET applications. Authors Jeffrey Hasan and Kenneth Tu focus on how to make good design decisions for performance. They discuss how to develop applications with performance in mind. And they pay special attention to the tools available to developers to quantify and monitor performance issues and to diagnose performance problems more quickly.
Infused with the authors' collective experiences, gathered from years of building high-performance web applications, this is a book that developers will want to keep on the shelf for a long time.

This book has way too much information that is already available from the documentation help files or online.
I would preferred to see real world examples of when caching was implemented and how they tackled real problems. The sample code snippets they provide are basic knowledge and are available in the documentation.
This book should be called "Asp.Net and Ado tutorial with a shallow chapter on asp.net caching."

The Review
Chapter 1:
The book starts with basics about performance turning such as Throughput, "Response Time" and "Request bytes out total". This chapter also provides introduction to Windows performance utility and Microsoft Application Center Test utility.
Chapter 2:
This chapter provides thousand feet overview of ASP.NET. This chapter also discusses the performance related issues with Viewstate and how to measure that using the inbuilt ASP.NET tracing feature. This chapter covers the performance impacts of encoding and encrypting the Viewstate using the EnableViewStateMac attribute of the Page directive.
This chapter also provides some vital information about ASP.NET configuration files and how to add app level configuration settings that is custom configuration settings ... Read More

This book is superior in many ways to the traditional how-to and language reference guides that you may find at any bookstore. Finally somebody provides solid arguments to support technical decisions that every software developer needs to make during the implementation and design of an ASP.NET system.
This material contains in-depth discussions about choosing the best caching technology, data structures, state management and almost every single topic that will help you delivery a fast and scalable application.
After reading this book you will be ready to answer any type of performance-related questions to your customers and peers (which is always something nice)
My advice is not to wait until you are code complete in order to start thinking about performance. Tackle this issue early in the design phase and you will save tons of hours and money by minimizing tuning efforts on an already optimized architecture
Strongly recommended!

APress consistently puts out good books, but even by their high standards this book really stands out. The topics are presented in a very readable, very useful way. Jeffrey Hasan is a consistently good technical writer and speaker. I have found his articles in MSDN Magazine and particularly asp.NET Pro magazine to be very useful, and always very readable. (That's partly why I ended up buying this book).
There is a lot of detail here, but I never felt overwhelmed by it. At first glance, some of the topics in this book do not appear to be new (such as caching). But this is misleading, because the book provides new and interesting information. For example, I had never seen a good discussion and example of caching with VaryByControl. This book has it, and shows me why I should be implementing it in my solutions. Other highlights of this book include an excellent discussion of the Microsoft ACT testing tool, and the most detailed discussion of session state and caching I've read. ... Read More

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It was easy to read and was filled with good advice regarding ASP.NET application performance.
My favorite topics included using session state management, writing optimized data access, understanding viewstate and even using Microsoft's ACT!
Most of all, the authors devoted a solid chapter on Stress Testing and Monitoring Performance. I found this to be the most important chapter because it covered the concepts behind analyzing and measuring the performance of your site. This chapter's concepts apply to all other topics in the book.
This book is a must have for ASP.NET developers!
