Performance - Scaling Strategies for ASP.NET Applications: This is a nice article on how you can improve the performance and how to scale your application. There are three strategies available that you can employ in order to improve scaling: specialization, optimization, and distribution. How you apply them will vary, but the actual strategies are straightforward and consistent.

Inspired by Scott Gu, I also felt the need of blogging the Links/BlogPosts I liked:

** March 19th is the date in "my" context and not that of posts I refer.

Build & Release Automation (it is on top priorities in my list of personal project development)

CI Server: Redefine Your Build Process with Continous Integration: Jay Flowers has written an excellent article on CI and about his tool CI Factory. I think Jay Flower has some similar thinking process I do, CI Factory has almost the same features and has been built upon using CruiseControl.Net as base reference, which even I was doing. The way he has written the title of the article with use of many Upper Case words, also seems to be a matching pattern.

SharePoint (MOSS)

Selling MOSS (The moral of the story): Paul has written an excellent post, he has covered many aspects of proposing a technology and its implementation...

Capacity Planning for .NET Applications

Manish Agrawal — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 21:43:54 GMT

On MSDN an excellent article on How To: Perform Capacity Planning for .Net Applications is available.

Although it applies to ASP.Net version 1.0 and 1.1, but in principle it can be used for version 2.0 and above also.

Bil Simser has started a new set of blog posts, where he will be posting everyday about the Jean-Paul Boodhoo's Nothin but .NET course (of 1 week duration).

It will surely be a good series... Thanks Bil.
