Learn how you can make your sites faster with tips directly from the field. After working on over dozens of projects in the past five (5) years, I'd like to share my favorite 25 best practices for SharePoint 2010 deployments. This session will provide an inside look into server performance, browser performance, development performance, discuss why common best practices are important. We'll then go deep into how to get the most from new SharePoint 2010 capabilities including improving server response time, caching options, reducing page weight, testing methodologies and more. kanwal@brightstarr.com
