Every programmer should read Code - by Petzold. At some point software has to magically jump into hardware and every programmer should have at least the modicum of understanding at this level.

There are so many so I thought I'd ask the experienced folk here. I've raved about these book in previous years. You can't consider yourself a serious .NET developer if you don't have one of these books within reach at all times: C# 5.0 in a Nutshell (Joseph Albahari, author of LINQPad) CLR via C# (Jeffrey Richter) Once you've memorised those two and feel more confident, rewire your brain to look at problems and solve them in a different way: Expert F# (Don Syme et al) Cheers, Greg K -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
