Fiddler deep dive

Microsoft PDC09


First PDC09 session I have watched is Become a Web Debugging Virtuoso with Fiddler where Eric Lawrence who is Fiddler's author unveils its origin, shows different use case scenarios, how it can be used for tuning performance, manipulating traffic, how it can be extended and finally announced availability of FiddlerCore library that encapsulates basic Fiddler functionalily (HTTP proxy) and can be utilized by applications directly.


I'm using it for quite a while but only after observing this session I understood that I was using no more than 40% of Fiddler's functionality.
Must see session for every web developer!
