Ryan Hartford: Searching for Polaris (2023, Ecliptic Books) 5 stars

Learning about family

No rating

A very fun, but serious book that you can teach your kid that they will still be loved even though a new brother or sister are on the way, and will need to be there for them and take on a new responsibility. The illustrations are spectacular and magical. The note at the end is also very touching and glad to see one of his dreams came true!

Ben Watson: Writing High-Performance .NET Code (2018, Ben Watson) 4 stars

Writing High-Performance .NET Code by Ben Watson is the best-selling book about understanding the fundamentals …

Good example code, gets into weeds in a good way

4 stars

Ben did a great job on the first edition of this book by providing context and sample material, with GitHub links so you can try everything out for yourself. He gets pretty into the weeds on several aspects of .NET code. This book is not for someone who writes simple APIs or web apps that do not contain a ton of non-CRUD type C# code. This book is for someone doing I/O intensive operations that really needs to squeeze more performance out of their code without simply turning up the scale dial.
