«.NET Memory Expert» is a comprehensive 14-week online program focused on efficient memory management within the .NET environment. This curriculum ranges from foundational concepts such as value and reference types to advanced subjects like Span<T> and Data-Oriented Design with native memory.

Importance of Memory Management in .NET

Even with automated memory management in .NET, a deep understanding of optimization techniques is crucial. Proper memory management is vital to prevent issues like memory leaks and excessive CPU usage, especially in large-scale applications.

Course Content Overview

Value and Reference Types: Understand the differences and their impact on performance.
Advanced Memory Concepts: Dive into Span<T> and explore native memory handling techniques.
Data-Oriented Design: Learn how to efficiently work with native memory structures to enhance application performance.

Practical Learning and Tools

The course includes hands-on exercises and practical assignments at the end of each module to reinforce learning. Participants will gain proficiency in using tools like PerfView for in-depth memory analysis and practice writing efficient C# code tailored for performance.

PerfView for Memory Analysis

Discover how to use PerfView to analyze and understand memory usage patterns in .NET applications, enabling you to effectively identify and resolve memory issues.

Writing Efficient C# Code

Learn best practices in C# programming that focus on memory efficiency and performance optimization. This course will guide you in writing cleaner, more efficient code.

About the Author: Konrad Kokosa

Konrad Kokosa is a Polish .NET specialist and the author of Pro .NET Memory Management (Apress) — the canonical reference work on the CLR memory model and garbage collector. He runs Dotnetos, a .NET training company focused entirely on the deep performance side of the platform.

His CourseFlix listing carries two Konrad Kokosa courses: .NET Memory Expert and Async Expert. Material is paid and aimed at senior .NET engineers working on performance-critical applications who need to understand the CLR at the level the framework hides from most developers.
