An Excellent Source of Tips, Tricks, and How-To's: As somebody who debugs applications for a living, I found this an outstanding resource to both refresh my memory, give me new tips and tricks, and provide a frame of reference for sharing this knowledge with others.
If you do not already have a symbol server set up for your organization, then you should order this book today for the simple step-by-step instructions for how to do this. This is an absolute requirement for success, yet for some reason seems to be consistently overlooked and considered a "black art" or something that only the largest of organizations has the resources to execute on. John debunks this myth handily, and provides the best resource I know on overcoming this initial hurdle to greater success.
I heartily recommend this book to anyone involved in software development.

Traditionally, tools for performance tuning, testing applications, and debugging code have been expensive, hard to learn, and difficult to use. While previous versions of Microsoft Visual Studio- have included debuggers and other code-improvement tools, Visual Studio 2005 presents developers with robust and useful tools and processes to help ensure top-quality code. In this guide, an expert on improving code, John Robbins, steps back from the expert-level information that characterized his previous debugging books to present hands-on, practical advice for working developers on how to use the debugging, testing, and tuning features in Visual Studio 2005. In addition to an overview of the science of debugging and expertly-guided instruction, this guide also features solutions to common, real-world development problems. Developers of all skill levels will be able to use this book to help improve their understanding of debugging, debugging tools, tuning, and testing! , including how to effectively employ Test Explorer, the Enterprise Performance Tool, and WinDbg.
