High-Performance Windows Store Apps

• Provides an introduction to the Windows platform from a performance point of view
• Describes how to set performance goals, establish tests to track performance, and covers tools to instrument code and analyze performance
• Explains why common techniques such as micro benchmarks and ad hoc testing often fall short in verifying performance
• Focuses on managed C#/XAML apps
• Although tools and techniques also apply to Visual Basic/XAML apps, all code examples use C#
• HTML5/JavaScript and C++/XAML are not covered
