This is one of the best .NET Framework books I have read in a long time. I was surprised when I went to buy this book at the counter that this was deemed a school book. One of the best things I like about this book is when they talk about framework design patterns is that they compare it how they made the .NET Framework. I love the fact that they include comments about their failures and how they did there best to fix it.

“Framework Design Guidelines is one of those rare books that can be read at different reading levels and can be useful to different kinds of developers. Regardless of whether you want to design an effective object model, improve your understanding of the .NET Framework, borrow from the experience of software gurus, stay clear of the most common programming mistakes, or just get an idea of the huge effort that led to the .NET initiative, this book is a must-read.”
—Francesco Balena, The VB Migration Partner Team (www.vbmigration.com), Code Architect, Author, and Microsoft Regional Director, Italy

“Updated for the new language features of the .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5, this book continues to be the definitive resource for .NET developers and architects who are designing class library frameworks. Some of the existing guidelines have been expanded with new annotations and more detail, and new guidance covering such features as extension methods and nullable types has also been included. The guidance will help any developer write clearer and more understandable code, while the annotations provide invaluable insight into some of the design decisions that made the .NET Framework what it is today.”
—Scott Dorman, Microsoft MVP and President, Tampa Bay International Association of Software Architects
