Format:Paperback
1/3 a quick round up of things a developer should know about, unit tests, source code control, extreme programming.
1/3 a catalogue of .Net c# utilities
1/3 a "missing manual" of Visual studio tweaks.

The developer material will not be new to anyone who reads joelonsoftware or any other programmer groups. You will still need to read the real books on these topics to get any use.
It's very .Net + c# specific and will date quickly as the tools mentioned disappear / change.
May be useful if you are new to Visual Studio or you have only read the "learning X in N days" type books and you need to bluff about software engineering topics.

Makes for very light reading, hard to put down. Short chapters giving overviews on the areas of software project development. Has particular focus on using .NET, and describes various tools available to help you with a view to your budget.
Recommended for the new programmer or manager joining or leading a software development team. Also worth having a look over for established teams as a sanity check to make sure they are following the good advice and practises detailed here. As part of a busy software team myself it drew my attention to some alternative and new products we could be using for build management and continuous integration.

This is probably the first dev book that I have read cover to cover . If you are a developer working on your own or are responsible for a small team of devs then this book is a must read. The book gives a good overview of the various things that need to be considered before you should think about writing a single line of code.
The author does a good job of rounding up a list of the various tools a dev team needs. This book will help put in place a productive environment and encourages you to put upfront effort into decidng on your own best practices.
This book is not a manual. It discusses the various things you should be thinking about to make sure you have the tools and processes available to create high quality software.
The author's writing style is very readable and the contents are very easy to digest - most of the suggestions amount to common sense.
