I happened to be looking for a little information on threading and how the thread pool works when I stumbled across a project at www.grid.org that I found pretty interesting.

I read Craig Andera's post on strong names a few days ago and it's really stuck with me. I'm running into some assembly loading “issues” myself on a couple of different fronts. Richard Grimes has a great online workshop that I first discovered on Scott Hanselman's blog that I'm revisiting...
