Nishant Sivakumar on C++/CLI
My friend Nish recently published his C++/CLI book entitled “C++/CLI in Action” and his publisher just sent me a copy. Previously I mentioned Gordon Hogenson’s C++/CLI book that focuses on the C++/CLI language and does a great job at that. Nish’s book takes a more pragmatic approach and focuses instead on the whole interop story for managed and native code. So it’s a very different kind of book but well worth reading if you want to bring the CLR into your legacy or native applications.

The NT Insider on C++
I know it’s shocking: a magazine devoted to kernel-mode development talking about C++. I just received my copy of The NT Insider in the (snail) mail. If you’re at WinHEC next week you’ll also get a copy in your conference loot bag. It includes a great article by Edouard Alligand with many helpful tips on using C++ in your kernel driver projects.

Windows Hardware Engineering Conference
WinHEC is next week. Unfortunately I won’t be going this year but I wanted to mention it anyway because its hands-down the most interesting conference of the year. In years past I’ve been to TechEd, PDC, and others but WinHEC trumps them all. It might have something to do with the fact that there aren’t any C# sessions. :) Seriously, it’s just a great way to learn a boatload about the entire Windows platform and technology stack. It’s a pity it’s in LA though. If it had been in Seattle again I would probably have gone.
