I just got back from the CMAP .NET User Group meeting during which I did 2 short presentations. At CMAP's December meetings we have a "10 Tips & Tricks for the Holidays" presentation format in which members do short 10-15 minute presentations on various topics. This year's topics ranged from my stuff to a demo of how to use client side script in ASP.NET. My topics were "Instrumenting .NET Code with Log4Net" and "Applying Defense-in-Depth to protecting admin sections of web sites".
During the instrumenting & logging presentation I mentioned that K. Scott Allen has a great write-up on Diagnostics and Logging in ASP.NET and that people should check it out to get a background on the "Why?" regarding instrumenting applications. Then I went into a short description of what Log4Net brought to the table and compared it to the PAG's Exception Management Block and the Logging Block. In addition, I also had an earlier blog entry about incorporating logging into a web application.
My Defense-in-Depth short presentation was an expansion of an earlier blog entry that I had made on this topic.
