Here's Reid Wilkes' post about his article in MSDN magazine on NGEN in Whidbey:

...and here's the article itself:

This is an EXCELLENT overview of what is new in NGEN in Whidbey.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, you can expect some more ngen related content from me in the near future. (In between bouts of Halo 2, I find time to do a bit of testing of NGEN)

.NET vs. J2EE WebSphere Study

davfries — Fri, 24 Sep 2004 02:18:00 GMT

I just found this on the web today: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1645550,00.asp

Apparently .NET did pretty well against WebSphere.

Disclaimer: Now, I'm as skeptical as the next guy when it comes to studies, but and I have virtually no knowlege of WebSphere, so I can't validate nor discount the study.

Anyway, I just thought it was interesting. You can draw your own conclusions.

As for me, I'll be working hard on the Whidbey NGEN tool to enhance the performance of your future .NET applications.
