70-483 Certification and practice what you have learned.

I am very close to taking 70-483 Microsoft certification. But before taking this 1 hour plus exam I’d like to put what I have learned to practice. I have read one book from Wiley’s for the second time. Planning to read it for the third time. Microsoft publications also has a book for it and I will try to read it as well.

I will be trying to optimize a class library project. That project was meant for pushing XML to a database table(s) in SQL Server. This is a class library owned by my employer. The class library is being injected daily by a windows service. We built a windows forms project to access the class library from a GUI. The XML can be as heavy as 4MB so that’s a lot of instances to insert.

Everything to be practiced is only limited to C# therefore I will try to do

a. profiling and custom text listeners. These are included in the exam.

b. and others I can think of

The goal is to make the class library quicker so readers should expect a before and after comparison chart in the end. I am a new blogger. I will try to make things informative. I hope to be criticized.
