This is an older version of this talk, that I gave at SQL in the City, in London a couple of years back. It's very much examples based and shows the tools and techniques you'll need to use to hunt down performance problems in .NET and SQL Server web applications. I have more up to date versions of this talk and, in particular, would suggest you check out the extended edition that I tend to give at user groups. This includes a section on memory management, which doesn't fit into the 50-60 minutes normally allocated for a conference slot.
