A slacker review of the Framework Design Guidelines
https://www.dotnetslackers.com/ has a good review of the Framework Design Guidelines
My favorite part of the review is here:
Guidelines can be boring to read but not this book. It is full of insight on how Microsoft did it, the struggle they had on some issues and the mistakes they made. More then that, the book is fully annotated with comments by experts like Jeffrey Richter and Anders Hejlsberg. Its like being in a room full of experts commenting about the book while reading it; fascinating.
That is exactly what we were trying for with the annotations... In particular the annotators imaged what they say to customers over beers at the PDC. I think we captured that fairly well in most cases, and saved you the price of a beer ;-)
Enjoy!
Update: I seem to be giving referral love to the wrong site. As Jeffrey Palermo points out Guy posted this originally on his own blog. Sorry about that.. here is a link to the official\original site: https://dotnet-expertise.com/cs/blogs/guy_barrette/archive/2006/01/04/266.aspx

You saved me the price of a beer by making spend the price of a book? I like your logic grin
Actually, I finally found an online store that was Oz based so that my boss would by it for me on the company card. I should have it by the end of the week finally.
You better live up to my expectations :P - Anonymous

Having read the book (about twice now, actually), I'd have to say it'll live up to your expectations...

Thanks Jason and Sean.. I really appreciate it. The book was a ton of fun to work on, but I gotta say that I think the magic is in all the great annotations that folks were able to give us so Krys and I can't take all the credit here. - Anonymous

I did honestly buy the book because "the magic really is in all the great annotations"...but absolutely take credit, the book is very well written and well organized IMO. - Anonymous
