Last weekend I came across this book in a local bookshop:
I immediately recalled all beautiful patterns I have seen and collected from visualized computer memory maps. I plan to include many images in a full-color book this summer:
Patterns of Computer Memory (ISBN: 978-1906717711)
This book should be essential for creative computer engineers and inquiring debugging minds!

OpenTask, iterative and incremental publisher, plans to release a guide for general computer users explaining crashes and hangs on personal computers ranging from mobile phones, netbooks and laptops to desktops and servers:
My Computer Crashes and Freezes: A Non-technical Guide to Software and Hardware Errors (ISBN: 978-19067171704)
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
On 15th of April last year I published
The First Windows Memory Dump Analysis Book!
To celebrate its anniversary OpenTask iterative and incremental publisher will publish Volume 3 this year simultaneously with another book featuring selected articles from Volumes 1-3 printed in full color:
Memory Dump Analysis Anthology: Color Supplement for Volumes 1-3 (ISBN: 978-1906717698)
This title will compensate for the lack of color inserts in MDAA volumes.

I aim to make Debugged! MZ/PE a quarterly publication and the next issue is to be by the end of June. Its main topic is modeling software bugs:
Debugged! MZ/PE: Modeling Software Defects, June, 2009 (ISBN: 978-1906717681)
If you have an article idea or if you’d like to write an article for this issue please use the following contact form:

The deadline is June 15.
Here is the draft front cover:
The back cover remains secret until release and will feature tips on debugging.

The paperback version of the book Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations has been temporarily out of print since the last week but this should be resolved very soon in a few days. OpenTask also submitted to print a hardcover version (ISBN: 978-1906717674) and it should be available for sale by the end of this week.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
Finally it has been published and available for orders from Amazon and other bookstores:
http://www.dumpanalysis.org/Debugged+Magazine
I had to increase the number of pages for the first issue from 16, planned originally, to 28 and this is reflected in the retail price of $10 (originally planned $8) but bookstores should sell it with a discount between 0% and 55%.
More information about the next issue should be ready by the end of the next week.

I’m very proud to announce that my first 2 volumes of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology are to be translated and published in the Republic of Korea this year:

Yesterday I submitted the magazine to print and distribution world-wide. If everything is right it should be available by the end of this month. This first issue features 12 page WinDbg command supplement to pattern-driven memory dump analysis methodology, an overview of Win32dd complete memory dumper and PowerDbg enhancements to debug ASP.NET code. The magazine will only be available in print.

During the last week of March I’m planning to take a break to write a mini-treatise explaining my dangerous idea in detail:
Parameterized Science: Universal Memory Dumps and the Grand Unification (ISBN: 978-1906717650)
This full color small publication should appear in print by the end of April and start an iterative and incremental publishing thread in philosophy.
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
I’m sorry to announce that the book has been delayed and the publication date has been changed to 30th of November, 2009. I promise this delay is the last one and kindly ask you to be patient. As a bonus or compensation for it, the book will also cover Windows 7.

A new book is planned by OpenTask with the following preliminary details:
State and Event: Categorical Foundations of Being and Time (ISBN: 978-1906717643)

One of the good outcomes of the previously announced restructuring: the book Crash Dump Analysis for System Administrators (Windows edition) has been prioritized to be published on 30th of November, 2009 due to the overwhelming demand. The book will soon be available for pre-orders.

Noticed today on Amazon that my book becomes more expensive after being used:
- Dmitry Vostokov @ DumpAnalysis.org -
The book is available for ordering from Amazon with a significant discount:
Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations
Although listed as temporarily out of stock at the time of this writing it should appear in stock in a few days. Search Inside is also enabled.

Here is the message from John R. Ingram:

All my books are printed on demand. For me it is the most economical way to publish and I look forward to seeing POD offering more formats.

Listening to étude No. 1 in C major written by Frédéric Chopin (Op. 10) an idea came to me about writing 16 debugging études (ISBN: 978-1906717575). It is surprising that there are many programming études out there but there are no debugging ones. Stay tuned and be in touch with this blog.
Draft definition:
Debugging étude is a composition of software with intentional defects (bugs) of considerable difficulty to find and fix, designed to provide practice material to perfect debugging techniques and problem-solving skills.
The idea actually came to me long time ago to create some sort of debugging excersises for training purposes.

I very proud to announce that after 3 weeks of final work the book has been released in both paperback and PDF format. In a week or so it should also appear on Amazon and other booksellers around the world. The book information and how to buy it can be found on the portal:
