2010 (0x7DA) - The Year of Dump Analysis
2011 (0x7DB) - 2020 (0x7E4) The Debugging Decade

After blogging for more than a year, accumulating initial amount of material and being persuaded by my colleagues at Citrix I finally decided to embrace a new challenge and write a book with a simple working title: Windows® Crash Dump Analysis.

The reader will master crash and hang memory dump analysis for process, kernel and complete memory dumps. The book will provide answers to many questions including those in the following list:

Memory Dump Analysis Interview Questions

and will also include guidelines for implementing SMART (Smart Memory Analysis in Real Time) process in a technical support or software maintenance environment.

As this is my first book I’m going to write the draft version online. More details and the link to Table of Contents will be announced in September/October.

I’ll continue blogging about crash dump analysis at the same time.
