Highly recommended!

I've had the first edition for a while and loved it. I saw that the 2nd edition was out which included new and expanded information for .NET Core. Ben Watson truly is an expert and does a phenomenal job at explaining why and how to get the most performance out of your .NET applications.

If you care about performance then this book is for you. If you're only mildly interested I would still highly recommend this book.

50% increase in content = 40% White Space + 10% New Content

The author says there is "50% increase in content!" I uploaded pictures to show everyone why the book is twice as long as the first.

50% increase in content = 40% White Space + 10% New Content

The pictures show
Bulleted lists are double spaced.
The font is larger.
What took 1/4 of a page in the first version takes 1/2 a page now.

The is new content and I am fighting with myself as to return it or not. I have not found anything new that I don't already know. I planned on reading it from cover to cover like I did the first version, but it is kind of like watching the digitally remastered Star Wars movies. Every once in a while the CGI surprises you with something new.

The content of the first version is well worth having so if you don't own the first version, definitely buy the second version.

If you own the first version, and you just plan to use this second version as a reference, I would make sure the new material is worth your while.

I am going to keep it for at least the weekend in hopes of getting to look closer at the new material. If I find anything worth mentioning, I will update this review.

I just want to warn the owners of the first edition because you will probably be initially ticked off like I was.
