Part I, Introduction to Engineering for Performance

This part shows you how to apply performance considerations throughout your application life cycle and introduces fundamental performance and scalability concepts and terminology. Part I includes one chapter:

• Chapter 1, "Fundamentals of Engineering for Performance"

Part II, Designing for Performance

Performance modeling helps you assess your design choices before committing to a solution. By considering from the start your performance objectives, workload, and metrics for your scenarios, you reduce risk. Use the design guidelines chapter to learn practices, principles, patterns, and anti-patterns that will help you to make informed choices. Part II includes three chapters:

• Chapter 2, "Performance Modeling"
• Chapter 3, "Design Guidelines for Application Performance"
• Chapter 4, "Architecture and Design Review of a .NET Application for Performance and Scalability"

Part III, Application Performance and Scalability

This part provides a series of chapters that provide deep platform knowledge across the .NET Framework technologies. Use these chapters to learn about the key performance and scalability considerations for the various .NET technologies, and to improve the efficiency of your code in these areas. Part III includes nine chapters:

• Chapter 5, "Improving Managed Code Performance"
• Chapter 6, "Improving ASP.NET Performance"
• Chapter 7, "Improving Interop Performance"
• Chapter 8, "Improving Enterprise Services Performance"
• Chapter 9, "Improving XML Performance"
• Chapter 10, "Improving Web Services Performance"
• Chapter 11, "Improving Remoting Performance"
• Chapter 12, "Improving ADO.NET Performance"
• Chapter 13, "Code Review: .NET Application Performance"

Part IV, Database Server Performance and Scalability

This part shows how to improve SQL Server performance. This part includes one chapter:

• Chapter 14, "Improving SQL Server Performance"

Part V, Measuring, Testing, and Tuning

This part shows which metrics monitor and analyze for specific performance aspects. It also explains how to load, stress, and capacity test your applications and how you can tune performance with appropriate application, platform, and system configuration. This part includes three chapters:

• Chapter 15, "Measuring .NET Application Performance"
• Chapter 16, "Testing .NET Application Performance"
• Chapter 17, "Tuning .NET Application Performance"

Checklists

This section contains printable, task-based checklists, which are quick reference sheets to help you put the information and details that you learned in the individual chapters into action. This section includes the following checklists:

如何实现N层架构，以Forums中完成修改密码是这样的：

页面层：ChangePassword.aspx， 主要是使用MasterPage：~/Themes/MasterPage.ascx来搭建页面的Layout，具体的功能是通过控件来实现的。

与之对应的(复合)控件：AspNetForums.Controls.ChangePassword，继承自控件SkinnedForumWebControl，主要实现Skin，因为Skin可以自定义，产生修改密码的页面要素：输入的TextBox，提交按钮等，产生相应的事件，调用逻辑层的具体方法。

逻辑层的类：AspNetForums.Components.User提供修改密码的业务处理ChangePassword(string password, string newPassword, string salt,bool isRequestFromPassport)，这个方法才调用数据层的数据库操作，实现真正的修改密码。

数据库层的类：AspNetForums.Components.ForumsDataProvider是类的方法UserChangePassword，因为其是abstract类，在这里是子类AspNetForums.Data.SqlDataProvider来实现的。主要是为了实现支持多个类型的数据库。

Rapid Web Application Development：开源项目，Rapid Development 提供一些常用的工具集辅助项目的开发，是开发人员的帮手，我还没有试用，包括：通过Web界面操作数据库、正则表达式工具、增强版的Grid、网站帮助文件维护界面、类库浏览器等。

Incorporating Yahoo! Messenger into your website 主要介绍通过哪些Href的URL格式在Web页面中和Yahoo Messenger交互。例如：<a href = ‘ymsgr:sendim?<B>novavnu</B>&m=<B>hello+my+friend</B>’>Send me a message</a>。

Using the DataGrid Control 如何试用Windows Form的DataGrid：新增Row，更新、保存Row中的内容，将Grid中的数据Copy出为本地文件。

Faster MS Excel Reading using Office Interop Assemblies  〔可能Oledb的方式更快一些，但按照作者的意思是不符合他获得数据的需求，〕通过Excel对象一个一个Cell的方式去获得数据是很慢的，所以它使用了Range对象以数据块的形式获得数据。

Custom app.config 不一定是app.Config。你可以自己定义一个符合规范的.config，即时装载。

Multiple Columns DropDown for ASP.NET  有多个列的下拉框，应该是通过层来实现的吧。

Dissecting the MessageBox Windows Form 类似于 VSS 的自定义对话框。

Smart Thread Pool .NET实现的Windows Form 线程池，"Many applications create threads that spend a great deal of time in the sleeping state, waiting for an event to occur. Other threads might enter a sleeping state only to be awakened periodically to poll for a change or update status information. Thread pooling enables you to use threads more efficiently by providing your application with a pool of worker threads that are managed by the system. One thread monitors the status of several wait operations queued to the thread pool. When a wait operation completes, a worker thread from the thread pool executes the corresponding callback function."
