Author 316 - Maintaining and Supporting a Windows-based Application

Hey there,

One of the topics for 316 is "Maintaining and Supporting a Windows-based
Application." Does anyone know where I can find info (on the web) regarding
this topic?

Thanks,

Been here?

http://www.microsoft.com/traincert/exams/70-306.asp

Have you tried using the topic as a Google search argument?

That's the page where I found the topic to begin with.

The only information on that page is that the topic is covered by the exam.
But how _exactly_ do I "optimize the performance of a Windows-based app" and
how do I "diagnose and resolve errors and issues"?

I understand those issues generally; I know that using StringBuffer.Append
instead of string.+= optimizes the code, but is that what will be asked on
the exam?

I took a sample test and some of the questions there were asking about
performance monitors/counters. I think that's the direction of this topic,
something along those lines, but I need to know more.

Look in the VS.Net help index for "optimize" or "performance" and you should
find a ton of articles on the subject. Many cover C++, but I also found
about 20 .Net specific articles in a few seconds.

Similarly, I'm sure searching for keywords related to errors,
troubleshooting, logging & tracing will turn up many articles related to the
second subtopic.

From the study materials I have used, this topic refers to:

the programmatic use of the Debug and Trace classes for
diagnosing and maintaining. You need to know how to use
both of these classes.

the use of Performance counters for measuring performance.
You should know how to implement and use a Performance
Counter, and the nuances of the different types.

there were questions about both of these on the 315 test
which is the same test but in C#

there isn't anything about low level code optimization.
its about the platform issues.
