One of the key reasons why developers use native software is for speed.  There are times when the application just does not respond like it should, customers complain about slow software, or the code just does not perform as expected.  How do you find these issues?  The task of isolating and remediating performance issues is a time consuming nightmare, period!  There has to be a better way!

Join Embarcadero, with special guests AutomatedQA, as they uncover the top unknown performance issues with a very effective and easy to use analysis tool.  In this webinar, find out ways to isolate performance issues and learn how time can be significantly cut to get your applications running as fast as possible.

The webinar includes a short lecture, demos, and time for questions and answers from the audience.

New home for tdug.com

For years TDUG has been using defined.net as its host. Recently the site became “suspended” for an unknown reason but it seems to be that defined.net is kaput, although its server still seems to be up.

So I’ve taken this opportunity to give the site a new host as an add-on domain to an account I own at bluehost.com.

Taking this as an opportunity I hope to change things up so that the site is of more value.
