Course description

Do you know whether your C# code is memory efficient? Could you make your application faster and cheaper to host? Do you know how to write efficient code, taking into account Garbage Collector's various caveats that you may not even know about? In this course we cover those topics to make you just a better programmer. We cover here a lot!. From the basics about value and reference types, through the knowledge about configuring .NET GC, up to super interesting, advanced topics like Span<T> and its usage to utilize native memory in a Data-Oriented Design way.

Well, it is partially true that .NET memory management is automatic and you don't need to think about it. Until... you need. Maybe you were supposed to analyze the strange memory growth of .NET application. Or maybe you are even not aware that you waste tons of CPU power because of inefficient memory handling. Do you know how to measure that?

We prepared .NET Memory Expert online course to help you gain all that knowledge. It is 14 solid weeks of learning. We will show you how to use powerful tools like PerfView in thoroughly prepared .NET scenarios and also how to program in C# in a memory-aware, efficient way. To practice possessed knowledge, every module has also a prepared homework. To deepen your knowledge we've invited two Mentors who will prepare two additional, invaluable lessons. As participant you will have an opportunity to attend LIVE Q&A meeting with an author during which only your imagination limits your questions to him!
