  Book Information

Like most complex tasks, .NET programming is fraught with
potential costly, and time-consuming hazards. The millions
of Microsoft developers worldwide who create applications
for the .NET platform can attest to that. Thankfully there's
now a book that shows you how to avoid such costly and
time-consuming mistakes. It's called .NET Gotchas.

The ultimate guide for efficient, pain-free coding, .NET
Gotchas from O'Reilly contains 75 common .NET programming
pitfalls--and advice on how to work around them. It will
help you steer away from those mistakes that cause
application performance problems, or so taint code that it
just doesn't work right.

The book is organized into nine chapters, each focusing on
those features and constructs of the .NET platform that
consistently baffle developers. Within each chapter are
several "gotchas," with detailed examples, discussions, and
guidelines for avoiding them. No doubt about it, when
applied, these concise presentations of best practices will
help you lead a more productive, stress-free existence.

What's more, because code examples are written in both
VB.NET and C#, .NET Gotchas is of interest to more than 75
percent of the growing numbers of .NET programmers. So if
you're a .NET developer who's mired in the trenches and
yearning for a better way, this book is most definitely for
you.
