The bit on mirroring is very useful.

It probably isn't. VS2008 takes about 3 years to startup.

I tend to use Visual Studio 2008 for my personal development.

I use 2005. I think my personal development is three years behind Mr Kane's.

it is a very good book. Even though you will spend 50% of it thinking "It's all right for him. He didn't live in a time or country where everybody is far too cynical for most of this to work".

Great book, well written. He also did one called "The Quick and Easy Way to Effective Speaking". Ages old books, but very well worth reading.

Smile a lot and be prepared to deflect criticism
Don't say sorry (I see your point, I can appreciate your view etc.)
Never, ever lose your temper even when confronted with an insecure tosspot

[original PM]

just be on your guard

no matter what you do how good you are at your job how nice you are to people there are always jealous people who will do their best to make your life as difficult as they possibly can to give themseves a nice power trip

make sure you can recognise these poeple and deal with them effectively (out the fourth floor window works for me!!)

firstly ensure you have the dress code correct

if everyone else is suited and booted so should you be!

be polite ensure you have something relevant to say do not waste peoples time and make sure you listen to them

two ears one mouth use them in that ratio

sometimes people maybe short with you do not take this personally they may be under pressure from a completely different area - always offer to come back at a more convienient time but stress it is important you speak to them about so and so subject

be prepared to make mistakes but ensure you learn from them
