You will learn standards, techniques, and conventions that are sharply focused, realistic and helpful for achieving results, steering clear of unproven, idealistic, and impractical recommendations. Pro .NET Best Practices covers a broad range of practices and principles that development experts agree are the right ways to develop software, which includes continuous integration, automated testing, automated deployment, and code analysis. Whether the solution is from a free and open source or a commercial offering, you will learn how to get a continuous integration server running and executing builds every time code changes. You will write clearer and more maintainable automated testing code that focuses on prevention and helping your .NET project succeed. By learning and following the .NET best practices in this book, you will avoid making the same mistakes once. With this book at your side, you'll get: Real-world, no-nonsense approaches to continuous integration, automated testing, automated deployment, and code analysis Tips and tricks you'll need to clear hurdles that keep others from putting these common sense ideas into common practice Guidance from the minimal, essential approach all the way to what's necessary to deliver at the highest levels of quality and effectiveness Benefit immediately, even before finishing it, from the knowledge, workable advice, and experience found in Pro .NET Best Practices . Review: Worth reading - Overall, I'm glad I read this book. The author mostly has good advice and insights. My only objection to the book is that the first five chapters are either bloated or not geared to an advanced audience. For example, Practice 5-5: Make a Commitment to Do Careful and Thorough Work. That's good advice, but I didn't pay $40 to hear that. I'm interested in more advanced insights rather than superficial bromides. In any case, I think chapters 1 - 5 could have been condensed into 20 pages or less (rather than 84). I'm not saying that the content is wrong, I'm just saying that some of it is way too basic for a book advertised as "Intermediate-Advanced." If I were the author, I would have severely cut the first five chapters and spent more time beefing up chapters 6 - 13, which I found much more useful. Review: Benefits go way beyond just .NET - I found the lessons in this book to be beneficial way beyond just development techniques and best practices. The author clearly has life experience and analytical abilities which apply to business, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. Mr. Ritchie's analysis is sound and careful, but brought to life by real-world examples and illustrations which make for a rare find indeed: a technology book which you can't easily put down. The logic is tightly proven, but the author never fails to illustrate the theory with real-world applications. Where most .NET books focus on technology, this book is different in that the author proves that technology only works when its practitioners understand how to overcome human flaws, the temptation of groupthink, the lack of discipline, and the avoidance of simplicity. Don't get me wrong: there's an abundance of real-world code fragments and spelled-out hands-on techniques, but there are far too many developer texts which are simply a paper version of a coder's blog. In contrast, this is a well-thought-out guide, with a beginning, middle, and end, and the reader leaves the experience with a deeper understanding of not only technology, but keen insights into himself, his colleagues, and his value as a developer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,334 in Microsoft .NET #1,400 in C# Programming (Books) #14,198 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 11 Reviews | ## Images ![Pro .NET Best Practices (Expert's Voice in .NET) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Vq+FDEzJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading *by P***N on April 16, 2012* Overall, I'm glad I read this book.

The author clearly has life experience and analytical abilities which apply to business, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. Mr. Ritchie's analysis is sound and careful, but brought to life by real-world examples and illustrations which make for a rare find indeed: a technology book which you can't easily put down.

But it turned out to be more about concepts that are better presented in specific books on XP programming, Agile Methodologies, Build Automation, Continuous Integration...etc. I find it ironic that the author went to great length in chapter 1 to suggest "Ruthlessly Helpful" is a better phrase than Best Practices. I wish he had felt strongly enough about that to title this book "Pro .NET Ruthlessly Helpful Practices" instead. But then, if he did, I probably would have researched better and not ended up buying it. Still, I give it two stars because it can be somewhat useful for someone new to .NET. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14822683-pro-net-best-practices-experts-voice-in-net](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14822683-pro-net-best-practices-experts-voice-in-net) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
