Nelson .NET User Group Presentation - Best practice - Caching - 19th of August

Upcoming presentation

Kirk Jackson will be giving a presentation on Wednesday the 19th of August.

Title:
Best practice - Caching

Abstract:
At some point in your application development, you'll need to start caching data or the output of your program. Scalability, performance, bytes transferred, speed, reliability and robustness can all be improved through judicious use of caching. The first half of the talk will cover the types of caching and motivations for using them -- through all layers of your app: SQL, C#, ASP.NET and through to the browser cache. The second half of the talk will briefly cover memcached, which is used by all the cool kids (YouTube, Facebook, Trade Me), and then introduce the Microsoft project code named Velocity (currently CTP), which brings all that coolness and more to the .NET platform.
