Software Diagnostics Institute

Software Diagnostics Services organizes this online training course.

Registration: TBD

Learn how to analyze .NET Core application and service crashes and freezes, navigate through memory dump space (managed and unmanaged code), and diagnose corruption, leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, resource contention on Windows and Linux platforms, and much more. The training uses a unique and innovative pattern-oriented analysis approach to speed up the learning curve, includes more than ten practical step-by-step exercises using the latest Microsoft WinDbg debugger to diagnose patterns in 64-bit process memory dumps, notes, source code of specially created modeling applications, and selected Q&A. It covers more than 20 .NET memory dump analysis patterns, plus an additional 15 unmanaged patterns. The new edition uses the latest WinDbg and .NET versions, new exercises related to microservices, additional LLDB exercises for x64 and A64 Linux platforms, and the necessary assembly language review.
