In this webinar we will explore the use of MySQL as the underlying database for .NET applications. Using several example programs, we will dive into how to develop a few starter applications for MySQL in C# and ASP.Net using Visual Studio. We will also guide you through the process from installing MySQL Connector/NET, setting up Visual Studio, starting a project, designing, coding and running these simple .NET apps. If you are in need of a quick jump start for developing your own .NET applications with MySQL, this webinar is for you.

In Part 2 of a three-part performance series, MySQL performance expert Brian Miezejewski will take you beyond the basics and show you the next set of steps to take when architecting your product's MySQL embedded or bundled database for higher performance and customer satisfaction. Brian has many years of consulting experience helping some of the world's largest software and appliance vendors achieve MySQL performance gains of 50% to 500% in their products.
