"The .NET CLR can give your web application a significant performance boost compared to other platforms such as PHP due to it's compiled nature. Not only does your .NET code perform better because it's more low-level, it also comes with good support for parallel programming. This guide will not explain the basics of a responsive and fast web application by talking about CSS minifying, sprites, content delivery networks, etc. Instead this guide will be an essential guide for making sure you don't miss any features that can enhance the performance of your ASP.NET MVC3 application.

"Let's face it - there are a lot of sites out there now running MVC3, probably mostly using the same patterns. This is a taster of some of the creative ways that this versatile platform is being used."
"Lately, I have been playing with few JavaScript frameworks and in today's modern web applications it is very common that we are including tons of JavaScript files in our application. One of the thing that plays important role in application performance is how fast these script files are delivered into the browsers. I have extensively blogged on combining, compression and caching of JavaScript files in my old blog, in this post I will show you, how you can achieve parallelism in delivering the scripts in the browser with the Head JS library. If you do not know what parallel script downloading is and how does it impact on page speed, then I would suggest to read this article of the YSlow creator. In short, when a browser encounters a script tag in a page it halts its rending until it downloads the script file, the parallelism is actually archived by adding the script dynamically or by XHR depending upon the browser it is running."
"A little while ago I wrote a blog post describing granular request validation that shipped in MVC 3 Beta. However, since then we have changed the API for this feature and that post is no longer valid. In this post I will present the new API which is usable in the recently-shipped MVC 3 Release Candidate."
