The Guide
TheServerSide.NET, on behalf of the Microsoft patterns & practices Team, would like to invite you to participate in the public book review of Improving .NET Application Performance and Scalability guide. The team that gave you the following two security guides for web application security (see section, Security Guide) is now developing a compressive guide on performance and scalability. The guide is task based, modular and comprehensive prescriptive guidance on Performance and Scalability across ASP.NET, Enterprise Services, Web Services, .NET Remoting, XML and Data Access.
Who is the Audience for this guide?
The audiences for this guide are architects, designers, developers, testers, operations and support (anyone who is interested in performance and scalability of .NET applications).
You WILL need this guide, if:
- You have to review the architecture and design of a .NET application to validate or enhance.
- You are looking for Performance Modeling techniques to help achieve performance and scalability goals
- You have been asked to design an application architecture that can scale out and give high performance
- You are a developer looking for performance tips and techniques across .NET technologies
- You are a tester looking for step-by-step help on Load testing, Stress testing and Capacity testing for your .NET applications
- You are looking for ways to troubleshoot performance problems that is currently plaguing your system.
How you can help
- Please send your feedback to betaperf@microsoft.com
- Please use track changes ON for the word documents (from word menu use Tools > Track Changes)
- Please do not use this alias to ask support type questions (ex. I have an ASP.NET page this is not working; can you help me fix it?) Please post them to newsgroup.
What feedback are we looking for?
- Have we let any big gapping holes? What did we miss?

What is the Incentive?
- Early access to the guide
- Solid feedback will have a good chance of getting your name in the guide's acknowledgements section
- Randomly chosen 10 reviewers will receive hard copy of:
Volume I, Building Secure ASP.NET Applications: Authentication, Authorization, and Secure Communication.
Volume II, Improving Web app security: Threats and Countermeasures.
- We also are currently working on getting T-Shirts for top 10 reviewers, will keep you posted.
We need YOUR participation to improve the quality and depth of the guide. Your feedback will be critical to the success of this guide that will be a key asset for our customers.
