I'm looking for links to cdb/windbg + .net help.

Question

I just started using cdb and I love it!

I've found and bookmarked a few interesting articles I've found on using cdb, but I'd love to see other peoples resources.

What sites do you use to extract the max usefulness from cdb (windbg)

This is a great book: Advanced Windows Debugging, though it is more focused on Native than Managed debugging. It has some links that may be interesting to you.

Here is a good series of articles about .NET debugging from the MSDN library, it covers using WinDbg and Core Debugger.

Here are a series of links that I have collected on WinDbg/SOS over the years:
