Two questions:
1) What are you smoking?
2) Did you bring enough to share?

As opposed to only male person.

They are just saving words: it's either a male who strokes women at work, or a woman who strokes men.
Clearly, they are an equal opportunity sexual assault employer.

I've lived a fair old time on this oblate spheroid and over the years I've read many books that have contributed to me becoming the person I am today. I thought it might be interesting to have a semi-regular update to give a shout out to the books (both good and bad) that have made me the person I am today. Hopefully this will give people a glimpse of some books they might not have considered, or a reminder of books they've read in the past. It won't all be technical books that I link to, but there will be a fair few of those.
To that end, I'd like to start off with Writing High-Performance .NET Code eBook: Ben Watson: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store[^]. As someone who likes to obsess about what goes on under the hood of things, this book was one of those I decided would be a must-read. It's possibly a bit too technical if you just want to learn the framework, but if you really want to know what makes it tick and what you can do to avoid common performance pitfalls, this book is superb. It's written from the perspective of someone who has gone through the pain of performance tuning a large scale application but it doesn't dwell on platform specific features (I'm talking about things like WPF or ASP.NET). Instead, it offers a fascinating insight into how the framework is written and how that affects the code you write for it.
Would I recommend this book? Definitely. If you're serious about developing performant applications in .NET, this is one of those books you really should read.
