"Optimizing application performance is a key element for business. There are several ways by which we can optimize the applications performance. It can be done either by server side code optimization, caching or some client side optimization. In this post I am going to discuss about one handy and smart way to optimize web applications performance using Bundling and Minification features which is introduced with ASP.NET 4.5 Developer Preview. ASP.NET 4.5 Developer Preview introduced bundling, which combines multiple JavaScript files for faster loading with less number of requests for download and minification, which reduces the size of JavaScript and CSS files by removing unneeded characters . Combination of these bundling and minification helps web pages to load very faster. Let's have a looks how it works."

Using Visual Studio symbols and source files makes debugging much easier. I am specially happy about ASP.NET MVC 2 source files because I develop on ASP.NET MVC 2 almost every day. You may also find other useful symbols and source files. In this posting I will show you how to get ASP.NET MVC source to your computer and how to use it.

"This document describes new features and enhancements that are being introduced in ASP.NET 4.5. It also describes improvements being made for web development in Visual Studio (Visual Web Developer). "

"Welcome at the WatiN (pronounced as What-in) website. Inspired by Watir development of WatiN started in December 2005 to make a similar kind of Web Application Testing possible for the .Net languages. Since then WatiN has grown into an easy to use, feature rich and stable framework. WatiN is developed in C# and aims to bring you an easy way to automate your tests with Internet Explorer and FireFox using .Net."

In this article I will explain about IIS request processing and concept of worker process and application pool.

"Now, I will show one real-world example which you may use it in your daily work of developing applications with ASP.NET MVC and jQuery."

"So you're ready to start that new and ambitious ASP.NET MVC project. Maybe you're kicking off a new startup or just finally moving that old-and-crusty webforms project into modern development world. Either way, here are a few very simple things you can do immediately after creating that new MVC project that you will thank yourself for as your project grows in complexity."

" The jQuery UI widgets are brilliant. They speed up web development no end with those easy to use controls. The downside is remembering all the HTML mark-up and widget options! "

" Naked Objects takes a domain object model, written as POCOs but following a few very simple conventions, and dynamically creates one or more complete user interfaces for it, using reflection (not 'code generation' or 'scaffolding'). It is highly effective in support of Domain-Driven Design, OO Modelling, and/or Agile Development. Naked Objects MVC builds upon the core framework to create a complete web-based user interface, using ASP.NET MVC 3. The generic user interface may be customised via the .CSS, by adding custom views, or custom controllers, as needed. Entity Framework is used to persist objects on a database. Security may be handled simply via Forms Authentication and attribute-based authorisation, or more comprehensively via Microsoft WIF and an STS. "

"The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is an architectural design principle that separates the components of a Web application. This separation gives you more control over the individual parts of the application, which lets you more easily develop, modify, and test them."

"SignalR offers a simple and clean API to write real time web applications where the server needs to continuously push data to clients. Common applications are chat, news feed, notifications, multiplayer games. In this sample, I demonstrate powerful features like: A server implementation hosted in IISExpress Client implementations running on IISExpress, a Console Application, and a Windows Store App Doing request/response operations sync and async Server pushing broadcast messages to ALL clients Server pushing group messages to specific devices like a web browser, a desktop, or a tablet."
