hint, hint from Microsoft eh? :rolleyes: You are an MVP, aren't you? Guess they want you to push their products. The book any good (I am reading the online article later)? :) regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project South-East Asia Disaster: How you can help Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell.

Paul Watson wrote: The book any good It's huge (>1000 pages) My first impression is that it was put together by a bunch of different people from what I thought was more like a web site. A real book has a "book" quality to it, while this has a "website" feel to it. Chapter 1 is a gloss over and incomplete review of everything you should already know about software engineering. Chapter 2 is a gloss over of what you should already know about performance modeling Chapter 3 introduces some of the issues and tradeoffs of dealing with application performance. Here you will learn a lot of techno-jargon. Chapter 4 is a gloss over review of the A&D for .NET applications. Chapter 5 finally gets into details on improving managed code performance. I think there's some really useful info in here. Chapter 6, 7, -- like 5, but for ASP.NET and Interop respectively and so on. Overall, it seems like some of these chapters (5 and beyond) could have been a whole book with a lot more detail in themselves. One thing that would have been really helpful is examples illustrating "do" and "don't" and the performance differences. These are completely lacking. I know from experience that trying to improve performance in one area often ends up adversely affecting other code, so examples of getting it all put together right would have been really helpful. As a result, the reader is expected to fully understand how to actually implement the performance tips. While the book talks about tradeoffs in the early chapters, there is no further discussion of the tradeoffs to the suggestions made later on in the book. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

Marc, Maybe they were hoping you could help them out some; you know: make some notes in the margins, edit a few passages here and there, maybe cut the book down a bit, oh, say by about 600 pages or so ... You know, little things like that ... :laugh: D.
