    It’s only been a few months since we announced the Beta launch of Telerik’s .NET memory and performance profiler, yet JustTrace has gone a long way. Back then we shared with you our core vision for the product – we were not interested in launching just another .NET profiler, but a tool that will help developers build more performance and resource efficient applications and thus increase the business value of their products.  Some of our core objectives include: A profiler that is a stand-alone solution yet a natural fit for Visual Studio Three distinct profilers – Memory, Performance and Tracing – that give...
