March 2009 Meeting of Israel Visual Basic User Group

This month we take a look at design and architecture, rather than specific technologies.

Konstantin Triger, a Senior Consultant at Sela, will take a look at the deadly sins of performance, particularly from the design perspective.  It is important to remember that low-level implementation details are irrelevant if the high-end design accounts for 90% of the bottlenecks in the final product.  This session will help to make correct performance related decisions during design phase and will demonstrate profiling tools to perform simple diagnosis of performance issues to fine-tune the design.
The key topics of this session include:

• Performance and scalability: the difference.
• Understanding performance and scalability tradeoffs.
• Relation between design for performance and optimizations.
• Optimizing: fine-tuning design.
• Using profilers to identify and optimize the performance.

As always, we'll have our special "Hatzilu" session at our meeting. So please come prepared to discuss your most frustrating problems (or at least some of them!) and to share some of your own techniques and solutions that you have found useful in your applications.

See you there !!
