Wow, great new website for OzFox 2007 (link). Now I just need to sort out a registration :)

We had a good meeting in Sydney last night, a good turn out considering both Craig and Andrew were absent (a first?) The powerpoint from my session, plus a few code snippets I used (a couple will not work as they have external dependencies) can be found here. Sadly a lot of the best content came up during the many questions asked in the session, so if you were not there, you miss out. For lots more information and code snippets / timings, check out the Performance topics on the Fox Wiki (link)

Also remember to check out Oz Fox and sign up.

I have been invited to speak at November's User Group in Sydney (link).
I will be talking about some of the techniques and tools I employed when tuning the performance of the Harris Technology website (link). This will include Caching, Coverage Profiler, Load Testing etc
If anyone has any specifics they would like to know about, drop me an email or leave a comment and I'll see if I can include it.

I was asked last night about what software we use at Quids to test the performance and load capabilities of our websites.
Years ago I started using a tool called WAPT (link) which is a commercial product and has given me no problems. It does the basic "record a script and play it back" functionality and has some nice graphs and stats.
Since then Microsoft have updated their tools in this area, but I have not really tried them out sadly.
