DotNetFringe presentation about .NET assemblies.
Abstract:
If there's a fringe practice with .NET, it's opening the hood of the .NET binaries, aka assemblies, and tinkering directly with the metadata and the IL bytecode.
Interested in compilers? Profilers? IDEs? Virtual Machines? Developer tools in general? On .NET, all of those share a common form of data: assemblies. What better way is there to learn more about the platform than by manipulating its data? While it’s sometimes viewed as some form of black magic, it’s really no rocket science.
This session will be the opportunity for .NET developers to learn how to analyze and manipulate the very data they consume and produce every day, and how to pick the right tool for the job.

118. #1 Some locations and characters were inspired by
the author’s childhood in Birmingham, where
he first lived near Sarehole Mill, and later
near Edgbaston Reservoir. There are also hints
of the Black Country, which is within easy reach
of north west Edgbaston. Some parts have
been inspired by the Industrial Revolution in
England and the Iron Age and Roman mineral
workings and remains which the author saw in
1929. Other influences include his experiences
in World War I and II. The entire story was
finished before 1945.
119. #2 The author was working as a researcher and
bilingual secretary for Amnesty International at
that time. One day she was held up for four
hours in a train from Manchester to London in
1990. She wondered how she could escape. It
was here that the story was first conceived.
120. #3 The inspiration for the book, he explains, was
from an incident in Los Angeles in 1949, during
the period of intense censorship and
blacklisting known today as McCarthyism. He
and a friend were walking the streets of L.A.
when a police officer stopped them and asked
them what they were doing. The police officer
had no reason to do so, and this angered the
author.
The incident was the perfect example of the
paranoia and fear that overwhelmed the American
society at that time.
121. #4 "I was flipping through images of reality
television, there were these young people
competing for a million dollars ... and I saw
images of the Iraq War," the author said in a
video from the publisher, Scholastic. "Two
things began to sort of fuse together in a very
unsettling way, and there is really the moment
when I got the idea for the story."
122. #5 Bell was a great-grandson of Benjamin Bell, a
forensic surgeon. In his instruction, Joseph Bell
emphasized the importance of close observation in
making a diagnosis. . These skills caused him to be
considered a pioneer in forensic science (forensic
pathology in particular) at a time when science was
not yet widely used in criminal investigations. Bell
studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh
Medical School and received an MD in 1859.
The author served as his clerk at the Edinburgh Royal
Infirmary and later based the character on him. Bell
was aware of this and took pride in it.
123. #6 “I was watching a news story in the spring of
1999 on television. At some point along the line,
it mentioned that they had banned the sport of
_________, which kind of struck a personal
chord for me, because as a boy I grew up
with all my cousins and friends _________
So I sat down after that news story and wrote a 25-
page short story about two boys and it became this
kind of a much darker, more involved tale than I had
anticipated. A couple of years later, in March of 2001, I
rediscovered the short story in my garage, essentially,
and it kind of became the inspiration for the novel”
Both blanks are same
124. #7 The morning was cold and wet; then an easterly wind,
and the clouds hard and high; then thunder showers, and
wind shifting to every quarter. The group had apparently
also been discussing the experiments by Erasmus Darwin
(Charles Darwin's grandfather) with galvanism, the
contraction of muscles stimulated by electricity.
The writers and poets threw down the gauntlet to see who
could conceive the most fantastic tale of horror. "I saw the
hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the
working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and
stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion. Frightful must it be;
for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human
endeavour to mock the stupendous Creator of the world.”
What would result, a year later, was a full-blown novel with
elements from the Gothic and Romantic periods, and was
seen as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and what
could go wrong. It is also laced with references to John
Milton's "Paradise Lost".
125. #8 The author said, "I've been reading books for adults my
entire life. Growing up I was an avid reader—the thicker the
book, the better."She also said she is a huge fan ofOrson
Scott Card, and "can't go through a year without re-reading"
Jane Austen's books.
She also says that her writing is strongly influenced by
music, and she posts playlists on her website of songs which
specifically inspired her books. Bands included most often
in her playlists are Muse, Blue October, My Chemical
Romance, Coldplay and Linkin Park. As a Mormon, she
acknowledges that her faith has influenced her work. In
particular, she says that her characters "tend to think more
about where they came from, and where they are going,
than might be typical." She says that she does not
consciously intend her novels to be Mormon-influenced, or
to promote the virtues of sexual abstinence and spiritual
purity, but admits that her writing is shaped by her values.
126. #9 ) The author noted that during his early schooling in
the midst ofWorld War I, he had drawn pictures in the
margins of his school workbooks of an unnamed young
man battling les Boches. He later commented that
these drawings depicted a brave and adventurous
character using his intelligence and ingenuity against
opponents, but none of these early drawings survive.
He was also influenced by the physical appearance and
mannerisms of his younger brother Paul, who had a
round face and a quiff hairstyle. In search of adventure,
Paul later joined the army.
The author later stated that in his youth, "I watched
him a lot; he entertained me and fascinated me... It
makes sense that took on his character, gestures,
poses. He had a way of moving and a physical presence
that must have inspired me without my knowing it.
