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...

I want to introduce you (if you not familiar with that) a term called: Startup Weekend. This term is well known and take place every year in US and Europe. Generally, this is an event that gathers around a bunch of 'people' that comes from the hi-tech community: software developers, graphic designers, UI specialists, product managers and more and more....

There is one goal: sit around, think about an idea of a tech project (web site, desktop application whatever...), design it properly - functionality and technologically and finally develop it in order to create a great product at the end of the weekend.

Some more details: this event is being produced by Erez Eden and Dan Rimon and will take place between 3 to 5 in April 2008 at Netwise offices.

So, if you're a software geek (like me ;)) and this idea interest you, you are welcome, I'll going to be there, you can count on it... ;)
