Noah Coad Presents Great Performance And Testing

Tools Integration with VS 2008 (aka Orcas)

Questioning the audience, pre presentation

Today, Noah, one of my Microsoft hero's in devland presented products from his groups today.  I've always been a big fan of performance analysis as well as unit testing and code analysis.  The integration just keeps getting better.  Now, for example, you can right click on a method name and say "Generate a unit test".  You can also right click on a unit test and say "Give me a performance metric".  Very cool.

One thing I need to mention is that there was a guy sitting behind me with 100 pounds of camera equipment and one that could take at least 30 frames a second best I could tell.  Well, he may hav 10000 more pictures than me but he probably will spend at least the next two weeks messing with them in photoshop.  Then there is me, the presentation ended 30 minutes ago and … Blogged!


Questioning the audience, pre presentation

Noah Coad talking to attendees before the presentation finding out what there expectations are (I'm wondering if he changed his presentation based on what he heard?)

And Of course, being this is one of my favorite presentations, how could I not do the eval..

    Awesome! Wow, what a post, nice. :) Glad you enjoyed it Peter! I liked using you as an example during the talk. In fact, I redelivered the talk today to an internal Microsoft audience and used you as an example again. It made the talk more applicable.

    I’ve posted the video, slide deck, and demo code here:
