Asp.Net vs php : Speed Comparison(naspinski.net)

submitted by naspinskinaspinski(610) 2 years, 11 months ago

Why is the myth that php is faster than Asp.Net so prevalent? Asp.Net is faster than php, here are the facts. So many times I have heard php pushers claim that php is so much faster than Asp.Net and that Asp.Net is clunky and slow. The most annoying part is that everything I have read (that is not factless opinion), and I mean everything, says that this is wrong; but for some reason, this myth is widely accepted. It has become a religious argument that ignores the facts... read more...

submitted by desmonddesmond(2014) 2 years, 11 months ago

Unit tests are great for proving the correctness of a single component.

Integration tests cover what unit tests can't - Steven Sanderson shows one way to approach it with ASP.NET MVC. read more...

I Spose I’ll Just Say It: You Should Learn MVC(blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by crpietschmanncrpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 1 month ago

I’m never shy about my opinion – why start now? I’ve been reading a lot of posts flying about on whether you should learn MVC, Summing up the differences so you can decide when to use it, I even found a post that offers a scorecard approach! I remember reading the latter post thinking to myself “how can you possibly put a number next to Testability? And why it is only 2 more points than “using a RAD designer”? Isn’t this missing the entire point? read more...

ASP.NET MVC and the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF)(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenbamaartenba(5845) 3 years, 1 month ago

Microsoft’s Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a .NET library (released on CodePlex) that enables greater re-use of application components. You can do this by dynamically composing your application based on a set of classes and methods that can be combined at runtime. Think of it like building an appliation that can host plugins, which in turn can also be composed of different plugins. Since examples say a thousand times more than text, let’s go ahead with a sample leveraging MEF in an ASP.NET MVC web application. read more...

Ditching the Micro-Optimization Fetish(codethinked.com)

submitted by simonechsimonech(10.1k) 3 years, 1 month ago

Seems like today is the day for performance optimization talks: in String.Empty, in calls to ActionLinks, in high-performance IoC containers. But people sometimes miss the point that these are micro-optimizations: thanks God Justin tries to bring a bit of sanity in this geeky world of micro-optimization read more...

How to improve the performances of ASP.NET MVC web applications(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by simonechsimonech(10.1k) 3 years, 1 month ago

Today I stumbled upon a nice presentation that Rudi Benkovic gave last week at the Slovenian DotNet User Group, about ASP.NET MVC Performances. It is an in depth analysis of a Digg-like site and how it went from serving (on a test machine) 6 req/sec to 390 req/sec. The analysis prove the usual rule of performance optimization: no matter what you do to optimize your code, the biggest performance hit is data retrieval, and the first thing you have to optimize is always this. But apart from this obvious outcome, I just want to take out from this presentation the 3 point that are really specific to ASP.NET MVC read more...
