Sam Saffron talks to Richard Banks about the performance optimisation work he has done at Stack Overflow and the tools that have come out of that. Namely Dapper, a lightweight data access framework, and the MVC Mini Profiler.
Sam also talks about the upcoming Stack Overflow DevDays in Sydney and some of the people coming to talk.
As a note - there's a discount code for DevDays. Just enter "Saffron2011" to get a $100 discount. Thanks Sam!
NServiceBus gets a lot of press for being a great message bus solution for application development, but it's also easy to get it wrong. Jim Pelletier talks with Richard Banks about the mistakes he's made implementing systems with it and also the lessons learned.
Apologies for the quality of Richard's audio - there were some micropohone problems at his end during recording.
