Based on years of experience optimizing modern web applications, we invented a set of techniques for optimizing dynamic content. We refer to it as “InstantON”. InstantON takes content (such as a webpage), breaks it into small pieces, and caches those pieces on the Yottaa Network. When a page is requested, Yottaa delivers some pieces to the client instantly (response times typically under 200 milliseconds) while simultaneously fetching dynamic content from the origin server. Once the origin server produces the dynamic content, Yottaa delivers those pieces to the client with the intelligence to properly integrate them with the existing page.

Many of our users use Visual Studio to speed up development and help organize their code. It’s a flexible development platform, and version 2012 adds tools that improves agile development and helps testing in Windows 8. All Aspose .NET and SQL Server Reporting Services products can be used with Visual Studio 2012. Developers can now use Visual Studio 2012 to work with Microsoft Word and other word processing formats from inside their own applications for creating, manipulating and converting documents independently of Microsoft Office Automation using Aspose.Words for .NET.

In a previous post I showed how to unit test an ASP.NET WebAPI Controller. But with a REST service there is both a client and a service component. Assuming for a moment the client part is also written in C# we should test that as well.

For testing Heterogeneous and mobile environments we have relied on world class partners. SeeTest from Experitest now enables Microsoft developers test mobile applications inc WIndowsPhone8, iOS, Android and Blackberry.
