I need to check out Rolling Wave project scheduling when I have a chance. I've been looking at Mark Graban's kanban blog and digging into the articles he has linked - it's fun reading. I've got a couple of blog topics that will fall out of this, but in the meantime this Rolling Wave approach is very...

The first two were written prior to .Net's release by Jeffrey Richter. The third article is a nice discussion on the impact of design choices...

Every couple of years I go looking for this article by Ruedigger Ashe on MSDN about detecting the possibility of deadlocks within a multithreaded application.
