Marcelo's WebLog : Velocity

Aaron Dunnington on Velocity

marcelolr — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Aaron published an MSDN article on using Velocity that is very much worth checking out.

Some of the highlights:

Why and how to scale your applications.
Deployment and configuration of Velocity.
Data analysis and cache design.
ASP.NET Session integration.

One of the things I remember from DevConnections is how ridiculously popular it is to use this from ASP.NET, and how easy it is to improve the performance of your ASP.NET applications with the integrated support.

Enjoy!

Back from DevConnections

Had a great time there, met a lot of great folks, and now I've got a bunch of ideas for posts that people will hopefully find useful - I'll work through the list as quickly as I can, but please bear with me while I catch up with my regular workflow. :)

In other news, we didn't have feedback forms, but if you went to my Velocity session, I'd appreciate your thoughts on how that went. Was the content clear? Did I answer questions to your satisfaction? What's the #1 thing I should improve on?

As always, you can comment here or send me mail - either channel will work for me.

Thanks in advance!

Velocity at DevConnections

marcelolr — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Next Monday I'll be at DevConnections in Orlando, talking about Velocity (Microsoft Project Code Named "Velocity", if you like formality).

It's going to be a bit of a challenge to sum up all that awesomeness into a single session, but I promise I'll do my best, and I'll be around for the rest of the event in case anyone wants to get in touch. Contact through email and blog will be slow, but should get back in rhythm after the event.

In case you find the online list a tad long to search through, the session is titled an unsurprising MDA02: Microsoft Project Codenamed Velocity: A Distributed In-memory Cache.

See you in Orlando!
