TechEd Europe 2007

I recently attended TechEd Europe in Barcelona, Spain.  This was my first Tech Ed and was a great experience.  Myself and Marc Popkin-Paine shared two talks:

1) Writing Maintainable and Robust Applications

This talk covers the tools available in the developer edition SKU of team suite.  This includes the Profiler for finding performance issues, Code Analysis for analyzing your code for common issues, Code Metrics for reporting on the scale and structure of your code and Unit Testing with Code Coverage.  There are plenty of demos to keep it real.  We hope you find the information useful.

	Timeline Topic Intro Demo Code Analysis 7:54 11:35 Code Metrics 26:53 35:43 Profiling 41:25 43:57 Unit Testing w/Code Coverage 51:21 53:10 Profiling w/ a Unit Test

2) Improving Code Performance with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Developers

This talk covers the many ways you can use the profiler to instrument your application performance and find issues with your code.  This includes instrumentation to trace every single call, sampling to periodically snapshot the call stack while your application is running and memory allocation profiling to track your allocations and object lifetime.  There are lots of demos in this talk also.  We hope you find the information useful.
