Long time no written.... I know - have lot of work on my head, on daily work, on allrise.com, on other things that on my mind - but I love it, I love to be busy, the disadvantage of it is the fact that the when you're busy the time runs too fast (mmm.. maybe I'll post a claim about it on allrise.com site).

I bumped into a great post (sent to me by my allrise.com co-founder - Erez Eden) which outlines some great tools to help you develop fatser web pages (I sure of it that you already know some of them, if not - you may take a look and discover it).

You can find it here.

Promise to post some more, I have great materials to share with you.. on the meanwhile bye bye!

I read a great article about performance and scalability. Some of the issues there were helped me a lot and the rest were sharpen my knowledge.

So, if you are an ASP.NET developer (beginner or senior), It is recommended for you to read that one by Omar Al Zabir at the codeproject site here.

Some if the things that he talks about are: ASP.NET pipeline optimization, Things you must do for ASP.NET before going live, Caching AJAX calls on browse and more...

Worth a reading...

Hey all,

During the last couple weeks I started working on a new web 2.0 site (simultaneously to my daily work) with partnership with 2 old collegues, which are the head of the wonderful idea and the UI experts (in life and in this specific website) and an art director, (I am responsible of course on the technologic side of this site). Details regarding this site will be revealed in the future and alpha invetations will be sent to our best friends (leave me a comment if you want to be one of the alpha users)...

BTW - My collegues names are kept calssified by their request...

Now, to our post issue: Website Scalability.
Many stories had been published regarding great startup websites that suddenly experienced success on the Internet and then had to re-design their application to handle the growing traffic web requests.

In order to do it by the book, also in our web 2.0 site we want to prevent this scenario and to handle the anormous web accesses to our site (I wish) and after some searching the web, Erez send me a link regarding this issue; GigaSpaces published a tool that come to help us regarding this issue by saying that "GigaSpaces XAP allows developers to build applications that can quickly and easily scale-out limitlessly across low-cost servers with few or no code changes."

I going to check out this tool and to make a use with it (if it's satisfactory like they are saying of course).

You can check it our at the The GigaSpaces Start-Up Program here.
