_NOPE_ Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Alright, now with @Carnifax's tip, I've gotten the page load cut in half AGAIN, down to 14 seconds: I think that's about as good as it's going to get folks, considering that I'm screen-scraping and processing a few dozen pages, all at the same time! I also learned a valuable lesson - you can't turn a method that returns void into a Task<>, because, DUH, it's a void method. If you make an async method void, the code won't care when the hell it runs, so you can't very well use a Task.WaitAll() on it. You have to EXPLICITLY declare the method as a Task<something> so that the compiler knows that it will return a value to wait on. I spent four HOURS figuring that one out. Rookie mistake. I also went ahead and updated the source code, so that anyone that wants to can see and take my nasty code, and maybe make it better. 2 I'm out.

You can maintain control merges with pull requests, everyone's not just committing to your master branch. You actually get better feedback, can discuss changes and how they're brought about etc. You'll actually gain more exposure, and gain resume portfolio fodder at the same time. If anyone is mean or doesn't like xyz about your project or coding style... Well they can go straight to hell via block user, and the OSS community as a whole has little tolerance for asshats who want to slander endeavor. Could someone clone the repo and make another city of tracker? Yes, but you've already outlined what you've done. There's some stuff I'm going to make public when I get finished moving cross country (in Minnesota, headed to Seattle)... specifically some aws stuff with Alexa and the like. 'Alexa, tell me about energy torrent', a flash briefing for forum posts here (hint, just grab and rearrange the rss feeds from this site into skillfeed items, clean trim text, and you done)... and so on. I'll also pack it with cloud infrastructure orchestration (cloudformation) so you can one click deploy it, and have CI/CD via AWS code pipeline once you do. That's not secret sauce, it's just helpful. Its fun for me, and I get the benefit of eyes on my work, and code review from folks who you'd normally have to pay quite hansomly for tutoring. Different perspectives are good, I'm sharing mine! If you do end up putting it up somewhere we can see, I'll bet you get all credit, as well as a better product. Good luck with it, however you move forward. And grats on figuring async await. Oh, yeah, well it's not so much that I don't want people to take my code. I give it away freely most of the time. It's just that if it's on my website, or inside of my program, I kinda want it to be mostly my code. I'm kind of selfish that way. 1 I'm out.

Bopper Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Nice work! Tried it last night while it was 30 seconds to load. Didn't bother me much, I did other things and came back to it when convenient. If it's now 14 seconds, I'll probably just wait it out.

_NOPE_ Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Yeah @GM_Tahquitz, I'm starting to overload my Shared Windows server with too much data for it to handle. Right now, I'm testing out an AWS server, to see how well that works and how cheap/expensive it is, so you can try that if you want, it seems more stable: http://devtracker-dev.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/ Edited February 5, 2020 by The Philotic Knight 1 I'm out.

_NOPE_ Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm testing out a faster server as well, to see how much they charge me. So, I'll be running this one for the next day for testing purposes. It is definitely noticeably faster, but the question is whether the juice is worth the squeeze, or if people are fine with waiting for a long page load, as long as it doesn't error out: http://devtracker-test.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/ 1 I'm out.

_NOPE_ Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Well, I can no longer justify to my wife the $45/month it costs to run the server that's hosting the DevTracker, so I have to kill it as of today.

Just be warned - it's a resource hog. It failed to work on my cheap $50/year HostGator account, that's why I pushed it to an AWS account, but... it got too pricey for my family to maintain.

That is amazing, thank you. Yeah, my code sucks, it was my first time making any sort of ASP.NET page without any sort or training of classes, so I'm sure I made ALL sorts of mistakes. I apologize in advance for my horrendous code. Feel free to start from scratch if you know what you're doing, because I sure as hell didn't. First thing you'll probably want to do is stop drawing Literal Controls like I'm doing right now and make some sort of data bound grid. I hadn't learned how to do that when I wrote that page.
