The Bible (with plethora of typos)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

The author wrote amazing book covering memory management from all possible angles -- what tools to use when analyzing memory issues, how memory is managed internally, what are the best approaches to use that knowledge when writing C# code. While the content is great, some pages are even better -- gems in short. Just one tip what is involved when processing arrays in parallel is worth paying the price of the book (and the advice is obvious in retrospect but one has to connect all the dots, so I am glad the author did it for me).

Why not full 5 stars?

The author has annoying habit to add introductions, summaries and incentive (sic!) to read following material. Is there some trend growing on to buy a book and not read it? All those "encouragements" are dead weight, they don't bring any added value, yet they take space. And on the other hand author complains this or that topic would lengthen the book -- guess what, the book is already lengthened by all those interjections. I would much more prefer to have more solid coverage of free tools than the mentioned comments.

This is the only sin I spotted committed by the author. For the rest Apress should be blamed. Proof reading is non-existent, typo after typo (e.g. "s type" -> "a type"), the closer to the end the more typos are present (plus one drawing is placed drawn by hand). It is really sad considering the size of the book and amount of the work done by the author.

And not surprisingly (it is like iconic behavior from Apress nowadays) text is enlarged to make the book bigger + no syntax highlighting for the code (who cares, right?).

So one star down.

TL;DR buy it, ton of wisdom sprinkled with typos, but wisdom is all that matters here.

My new .NET reference bible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had no idea you could write over a 1000 pages on .NET Memory management. But honestly this book contains so much great information that helps me be a better developer, and surprisingly the pages doesn't feel "bloated" and long-winded like many other really big technical books tend to do. I can't claim having read it in full, but enjoy browsing it and reading up on various topics, and keep it around for lookup (I've only had it for a week and already been used to lookup specifics issues I was dealing with). I've done .NET since the very first beta, and full-time for over 12 years, yet I'm still learning A LOT from this book, or it helped me better understand stuff I already knew.

Thorough, in depth and useful - but plagued with grammatical errors and typos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

A very thorough and in-depth explanation of memory management in general and in .net in particular. It contains a ton of interesting information and insight. The author has clearly done his research, and deserves recognition for this endeavor.
Unfortunately, the book is so full of grammatical errors and typos that sometimes it is really hard to read.

Editors were AWoL Here

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

I've only skimmed a few sections, but as other reviewers are noting, the book is clearly mired in grammatical errors. The information seems sound, but it's really dissonant to read and parse through most paragraphs.

It's a disservice to the author, and reflects poorly on Apress. If I were looking to have a tome published after reading this, I would be looking for other publishers.

This book absolutely needs a second edition for Apress to put in the effort to actually edit/proofread the thing.

Mr. S. Gordon

Fantastic book! Inspired me to dig deeper into performance. Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is so thorough; it's a true testament to the passion that Konrad has for the in-depth internal details of computer memory and .NET memory management. That passion has rubbed off on me after reading this excellent book.

I purchased this book on pre-order and was excited to receive my copy at the end of last year. It's a massive volume of detailed and beneficial information about .NET memory management.

Since owning the book, I've read it nearly cover-to-cover. I've reviewed some sections multiple times and find myself learning more each time as the knowledge sinks in. This is an in-depth and highly technical book. I firmly believe there's something in it for all levels of developer. I'm an experienced, self-taught .NET developer but the internals of GC and memory, in general, has not been something I've dug too deeply into. This book has helped me fill in that knowledge and I am a better developer for it. I've already put into practice some of the recommendations to improve the applications I work on daily.

The structure is excellent, starting with hardware details of memory that forms a sound basis for the rest of the book and makes the later chapters easier to grasp and put into context. It goes into details of how to measure and profile memory performance which is a very practical guide which I found useful. It then dives into .NET memory management, allocations and the main sections on a detailed explanation of .NET garbage collection. These sections are very detailed and very well researched. I found it fascinating and while not all of it will sink in immediately, having some background is very useful as a developer. You will need no other resource to understand GC in .NET!

The final chapters are ones which I've put into practice already and discuss some of the new higher performance features in .NET / .NET Core which support writing fast efficient applications. I found the information around Span<T>, Memory<T> and ArrayPool to be particularly useful. I find myself referring back to these often to bed in my understanding as I begin to utilise these features.

In my opinion, most .NET developers should take the time to read this book at least once. It's important and relevant information which is particularly useful as we look to build highly optimised microservices in containerise environments. It's one of the best .NET related books I've read and great value for money. There's so much detail - you'll be lost in this book for hours at a time.

An excellent book on .NET internals

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on March 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is an excellent source of knowledge on .NET internals. Don't be misguided by its title - it's not only about memory management (although that's obviously the main subject) but covers topics such as: .NET internal structures (assemblies, appdomains, types), profiling/debugging tools usage, C# constructs for effective memory usage, APIs to use for writing your own diagnostic applications. When it comes to memory management in .NET, I can hardly think of anything that was not covered in this book. The chapter dedicated to low-level memory management describes both Windows and Linux environments, as well as hardware specifications.

I hugely enjoyed the Scenario sections. They contain descriptions of various problems that may happen in your applications and provide diagnostics steps you may take to solve them. It's worth to own this book solely for these short tutorials! If you are an experienced .NET developer and you lack time to read the book from cover to cover (it has 1047 pages!), go through the Scenarios and Rules and if you don't understand something, fill the gaps by reading the chapter that contains them.

For sure, it's a book I will return to, and it has a place on my shelf next to the classics like "Advanced .NET Debugging" or "Pro .NET Performance."

Must read for every .NET developer.

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 30, 2020

This book is a perfect coverage of low-level and high-level aspects of memory management from .NET perspective and much more. It covers GC, JIT, CLR, C# structs and classes, tons of tips and guidelines, plenty of real-word memory problem scenarios and debugging techinques. Even if you are an experienced .NET developer, you will learn a lot of new stuff from this book.
Small minus for typos though, however they don't diminish the value of this book.
