During the last days, I've been browsing the web in search for some detailed information about the CLR and especially about x86 Assembler so that I might be able to reproduce several internals.
What got me started in the first place was John Lam's weblog at http://www.iunknown.com especially his article about Interface dispatch vs. object reference dispatch and the entry about real cost of dispatching virtual methods using an interface reference.
As a starting point, I used Matt Pietrek's site http://www.wheaty.net/ which has a lot of links to some "Under the Hood" MSDN columns he wrote throughout the years. Especially "Matt's Just Enough Assembly Language To Get By" Part I and Part II were quite helpful (don't be afraid about the fact they've been published in '98 - Assembly language concepts just don't change as often as higher level development concepts do ;-))
I also ordered "Inside Microsoft Windows 2000" from David Solomon and Mark Russinovich even though I won't have too much time to read it in the next weeks as I'm currently about to work on the last chapters of my own book.
