Wisdom
A deep understanding and realization […] resulting in
the ability to apply perceptions, judgements and actions. It is also
the comprehension
of what is true coupled with optimum judgment as to action.
- Wikipedia
We’re writing a book for ASP.NET developers, and we want you to be a part
of it.
We know that there’s a huge amount
of web developer wisdom that never gets shared, and we want to find those golden nuggets
of knowledge and experience, and make sure everyone can learn from them. Right now, we want to find out about your top tips, hard-won lessons, and sage advice for avoiding, finding, and fixing application performance problems.
If you work with .NET and SQL, even better – a lot
of application performance relies on
the interaction with
the database, so we want to hear from you!
“How Do You Want Me To Be Involved?”
Right! Details!
We want you, our most excellent readers, to email us with
the Best Advice you would give to other developers for getting
the best performance out
of their applications. It doesn’t matter if your advice is for newbies or veterans, .NET or SQL – so long as it’s about application performance, we want to hear from you.
(And if you think that there’s developer wisdom out there that “everyone knows”, a) I’m willing to bet you could find someone who doesn’t know about it, and b) it probably bears repeating anyway!)
“I’m Interested. What Can You Do For Me?”
Excellent question.
For starters, there’s a chance to win a Microsoft Surface (the tablet, not
the table-top). Once all
the ASP.NET Wisdom has been collected, tallied, and labelled, it will then be weighed and measured by a team
of expert judges (whose identities are still a closely-guarded secret).
The top tip in both SQL & .NET categories will each win their author their very own MS Surface.
But that’s not all! We can also give you… immortality!
More details? Ok.
We’ll be collecting all
of the tips sent in by our readers (and we can’t wait to learn from you all,) and with
the help
of our Simple-Talk editors, we will publish and distribute your combined and documented knowledge as a free, community-created, professionally typeset eBook.
You will naturally be credited by name / pseudonym / twitter handle / GitHub username / StackOverflow profile / Whatever, as
the clearly ingenious author
of hot performance tips.
The Not-Very-Fine Print
Here’s
the breakdown:
We want to bring together
the best application performance knowledge from ASP.NET developers.
Closing date for submissions will be 9am GMT, December 4th.
Submissions should be made by email –
[email protected]
Submissions will be judged by a panel
of expert judges (who will be revealed soon).
The top submission in both
the SQL & .NET categories will each win a Microsoft Surface.
ALL
the tips which make it through
the judging process will be polished by Simple-Talk editors, and turned into a professionally typeset eBook, which will be freely available, and promoted alongside
the ANTS Performance Profiler tool.
Anyone whose entry makes it into
the book will be clearly and profusely credited in
the method
of their choice (or can remain anonymous.)
The really REALLY short version
Share what you know about ASP.NET application performance for a chance to win a Microsoft Surface, and then get your name credited in a slick eBook with top-notch production values. For more details, see above.
We can’t wait to learn from you!
