You learned the importance of explicitly disposing the objects implementing the IDisposable interface and how system administrators and developers can use the developer dashboard for diagnosis and troubleshooting the server side code. Finally, the hour concluded by exploring the development steps involved in creating a custom timer job, modifying web.config, and programming event receivers.
