What you'll learn

Performance is one of those aspects of application development everyone agrees on is important, but it often isn't so easy to achieve - especially when your app gets larger & more complicated. In this course we cover a huge variety of performance-related aspects, from perception versus reality over PLM, XAML, data, media and file system performance & strategies, using virtualization, using async to your advantage, right up to tooling & analytics. Whether you're just starting to build a Windows 8 (LOB) app or you're already well underway and hitting a performance issue, this course will help you out.
