Applied .NET and how blogs have opened up Microsoft to developers
I was talking with someone the other day about .NET and especially the CLR, BCL, JIT & Garbage collection.
On a day to day basis developing Enterprise Web applications I'm not directly thinking about these things, it is so easy to forget the internals. So I dusted off Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming by Jeffrey Richter and started reading up again about Generations 0, 1, 2!
Also I noticed in the Acknowledgements how many names from the .NET framework team I recognised and read their blogs daily:
... Brad Abrams, Chris Anderson, Chris Brumme, Nikhil Kothari ... (to name a few)
As well as that, I started reading Improving .NET Application Performance and Scalabilty again too. It's really a guide that you can dip into and learn something new each time including ASP.NET data binding differences to maxconnection for Web services. Seems like a security guide for ASP.NET 2.0 has just been released so I'll add to the list to read next too.
