Is there a book you would recommend that targets small-scale usage like mine? A CLI, a GUI, or maybe a Windows Service that fires off every so often. I have noticed someone in a previous job who wrote an application that somehow tied itself to IIS despite not having any web site needed as a front end and found that somewhere between baffling (was there something I just wasn't getting? Is this how things are done now?) and intimidating (wow, that's a lot of infrastructure for something so small). I'm looking for something which might target the IDE and little tips like the you have helpfully included.
