Practical .NET Memory Management

Is your .NET application running slower than expected or consuming too much memory? Understanding how memory works under the hood is the key to writing fast, stable, and scalable C# applications. This text-based course guides you from the absolute basics of memory allocation to writing highly optimized C# code. You will transition from guessing why your application is slow to confidently structuring your code for optimal memory usage and garbage collection efficiency. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamental differences between stack and heap memory allocation - Master the mechanics of the .NET Garbage Collector and how to minimize its overhead - Identify and resolve common memory leaks in managed applications - Apply modern memory-efficient types like Span and Memory to avoid allocations - Implement the IDisposable pattern correctly to manage unmanaged resources - Configure garbage collection settings to optimize performance for different workloads We begin with essential terminology and the foundational concepts of how .NET manages memory. You will then progress through practical, written explanations and code examples that demonstrate how to write allocation-friendly code and analyze memory behavior. This course is designed for beginner-to-intermediate C# developers who want to deepen their understanding of the .NET runtime. No advanced performance tuning experience is required.
