No Fluff Just Stuff

Twin Cities Software Symposium

March 7 - 9, 2014

Sunday - Mar 9 2:15 PM CDT - Salon A

When we run into issues with our programs we often run to the debugger. While that's a powerful tool, there are problems far beyond what a debugger can expose. We often want to profile code, take a look at the memory usage or where a bottle neck may be.

In this presentation we will take a look at a few tools that are pretty useful to help us take a peek at the code and proactively improve the performance of our applications.
