Clearly written by somebody who not only knows his subject, but is also still hands-on in his area of expertise, this book is a mine of information. As somebody who has been called in as a consultant to provide detailed reports on how to speed up legacy systems, this feels like the more detailed version (460+ pages) of what I have previously produced as reports for clients (60-100 pages). Within that detail, Ben Watson has included a reasonable amount of information that I did not previously know, so very useful for me.
I recommend this book, whether for performance-geeks like me, for anybody who needs to build a performant .Net application, or for anybody working in a .Net development team.
