INSIDE THE BOOK

About this book

Learn how to tackle complex issues like race conditions, memory corruption, performance degradation, and non-deterministic failures. The book covers a wide array of powerful tools and techniques across different platforms and languages, turning the 'undebuggable' into the solved.

Good, with realistic expectations

Well worth picking up if you already have the basics.

This is the third book I have read on software development this year, and it is comfortably the best of them. The balance between theory and practice is well judged; neither side dominates. The author avoids over-explaining, which keeps the pace up but means you need to pay attention. Four stars, and I suspect a second edition could easily push it to five.

Worth every page

Genuinely excellent — I finished it in a week and immediately started again.

I bought this on a whim after seeing it mentioned in a forum thread, and I am glad I did. The book rewards careful reading. Skimming it would be a mistake. The balance between theory and practice is well judged; neither side dominates. I have already recommended it to two colleagues and will recommend it to more.
