Computers are gloriously fast these days, a fact that holds right up until you're juggling thousands of simultaneous requests and the hardware starts giving you a look. Then you optimise, ideally without turning your codebase into write-only hieroglyphics.

Join Dennis for the top tips to make C# blazingly fast:
- the inner workings of the BCL,
- what the CLR quietly does on your behalf,
- how to work with the garbage collector rather than against it,
- and rather more.

Think of this as the breadth-first scenic tour: the overview before the deeper systems-programming talks start lifting the floorboards.

If speed is your thing, buckle up.
