Got this book yesterday in the post and started reading. Table of contents is amazing for its practical depth and breadth. If you want me to provide a review in a language of concurrency (I’m reading many books in parallel) I would simply say one word:
Priority!
It simply means priority reading for any Windows software developer and maintainer. Invaluable for any engineer debugging complex software problems and analyzing Windows crash dumps. Simply because Microsoft OS and CLR developers use all this concurrent stuff and best practices described in the book so it is vital to be able recognize them in memory dumps. After reading this book you also get priority boost in your understanding of process and thread dynamics and your ability to plan, architect, design and implement concurrent applications and services.

Previously announced my old Resume and CV as a book was submitted to print and distribution worldwide this morning.
It features UML statechart diagrams on the following front cover I designed myself:

A book can serve the role of CV but this weekend another idea got into my mind is to publish my old pre-Citrix times CV (1987 - 2003) as a book and as an example of a guy with CV-writing obsession like I had 5 - 8 years ago:
Soon it should appear on Amazon and bookshops around the world. Now when someone asks me to send a CV I can send them a link to buy it.

I found it indispensable to keep track of my own blog post ideas in a hardcopy format, work on several blog transformations into books and simultaneously keep track of work and home-related tasks.

Noticed that my blog is clearly visible from outside my apartment window even in daylight:

“Avoid” crashes and hangs, “but do not seek” total stability “- nothing so expensive as” total stability.
