Kyle Dunn

Wrox Press, 2002

Not bad at all all -- if you have a good copy...

I was fortunate to get a "good" copy of this book - i.e., without all these printing horrors so vividly described by other frustrated reviewers (missing chapters, wrong pages, inserts from another book on Apache server, etc.) - and have found it very useful. I think this book could have a great ...

.NET Multithreading10 reviews
Alan Dennis

Manning Publications, 2003

Amazing Work and Best to Date on this Hard Subject

This book pulls no punches. It gives you the facts that would take years to decipher from the many of MSDN articles, and tidbits, which often contradict each other.
