Please join us on Thursday, August 14th for a scintillating presentation on Asynchronous Web Pages by Paul Mehner.
Meeting Summary
Learn how to build scalable ASP.NET applications by using the ASP.NET thread pool as efficiently as possible. Learn how I/O operations can be potential scalability killers and how to properly write your code to take advantage of asynchronous I/O and page processing. In this session we will learn how to leverage ASP.NET’s three asynchronous (and largely undocumented) programming models: asynchronous pages, asynchronous handlers, and asynchronous modules.
