This book is different from many other books in this point of view: most of books about .NET are about different aspects of technology and how to apply them, but this book is talking about some professional fundamentals.  So I strongly recommend it for every professional developer.

The authors haven't tried to step into coding details so the book is not boring.  All guidelines inside this book are common to some extent, so it is worth reading for all developers.  The book has excellent logical divisions, so a developer can step into any desired topic and avoid other parts of the book, because sections are written independently.
