  • Improving application performance in terms of memory management, networking, I/O, concurrency, and other areas.
  • Understanding CLR and .NET internals in sufficient detail to design high-performance applications and fix performance issues as they arise.

We believe that .NET developers cannot achieve systematically high-performance software solutions without thoroughly understanding all three areas. For example, .NET memory management (facilitated by the CLR garbage ...
