----------------------------------------------------------- From: Jofu Message 5 in Discussion Rosh Bad luck i really dont have access to a .NET compiler at office!!!! but still interested......... BSJB... is it really the initials of the developers!!!!! i saw this in a description given for this book..... Programming in the .NET Environment Regards -Joseph <Ctrl - C.... Ctrl- V> A better title for this book would be 'An Insider's Guide to Why the .NET Framework Was Designed the Way It Was'. The authors are Microsoft developers who have been working on .NET for most of its existence. Because of their first hand knowledge of the Framework's evolution, they offer a perspective that is uniquely different than all the other .NET books out there. Covered are topics such as the design goals of C# (including an alarming story of how Microsoft considered modifying C++ rather than creating a new language), the internal discussions of the Visual Basic team regarding how that language would evolve, and the advantages/disadvantages of garbage collection versus deterministic finalization, and why garbage collection finally won out. There are even little known nuggets, such as why every .NET Framework executable contains the string "BSJB" (they are the initials of four of the original developers). </Ctrl - C....
