How to Write Crap Code in C# - Anti-Patterns for Performance
Most developers want the best possible performance from their code. Inspired by the idea of “proof by contradiction” this talk looks at how to write slow code and how the .NET platform, Windows and the processor will try and sabotage your efforts. A variety of techniques for inefficient coding will be covered including:
Flow control with Exceptions
Abusing Threads
Misuse of the Heap
It’s one man against some of the brightest minds in Redmond, seeking an answer to the question “How Slow Can It Go?”

What:
Partial Rendering for AJAX Purists and AJAX Real Programmers
The advent of AJAX is radically modifying the user’s perception of a Web application and it is subsequently forcing developers to apply newer and richer models to build modern Web applications. In ASP.NET AJAX Extensions, we find two approaches to AJAX : partial rendering and script services. As dramatic as it may seem, only the second approach is pure AJAX . Partial rendering has little to do with AJAX , but it’s an incredibly smart trick that brings with it flicker-free pages. In this talk, I’ll give an architectural perspective of partial rendering and unveil some of its inner secrets

24th July 07 Geek Dinner
June 14th: Sliverlight and WPF
Another London.net User Group event….
Who:
Tim Sneath is the group manager for the Silverlight and WPF technical evangelism team, based out of Microsoft’s corporate headquarters in Redmond, WA. His mission is to see developers create stunning applications built on the Microsoft platform, and to persuade his mother that computers aren’t out to get her. Amongst other strange obsessions, Tim collects vintage releases of Windows, and has a near-complete set of shrink-wrapped copies that date back to the late 80s, as well as a “museum” of Virtual PC images from Windows 1.0 to the present. Tim spent the first thirty years of his life in the UK, and his occasional attempts to speak English with an American accent for ease of comprehension cause much hilarity amongst his colleagues. His popular blog covers client platform technologies, and can be found at http://blogs.msdn.com/tims.
