A Cool .NET Design & Developmennt Framework Book

Yep, this is a cool book. It really offers a ".NET Design & Development framework" that covers stuff from A-Z. It covers .NET from code to architecture through the various aspects of development, design and documentation policies. It is surprising just how much territory is covered, as mentioned by other reviewers. I really like the discussion on the hard to handle aspects of .NET, like when to favor abstract classes over interfaces, or when not to use inheritance and favor containment. I also found the content on design patterns to be refreshenly presented: precise and intuitive. More seriously interesting books like these, please! ;)

A Comprehensive C# Code & Design Manual

What I like about this book is the range of topics (from C# code notation to enterprise architecture) and the way that it is written (as a "C# community" book). There is a lot of stuff that I already know or took for granted, and heaps I did not appreciate, as a lead developer. I can see the book playing a useful role in motivating my team to code and design consistently across projects, without me having to show them all the time. What I would of liked to of seen is a section on UML - it would save me buying an UML book! ;)

At last a catalog of .NET best practices!

At long last someone has tried to catalog best practices for .NET developers and architects. While, I have only just got the book, it is one of a few that has ever excited me. What sold me on the book was the easy "What, Why, Where and How" format and the range of technical coverage. The part of the book on design patterns is worth the price of the book alone - the author removes the pretentiousness surrounding design patterns and makes them so easy to follow.
