I didn't see anyone else post about this, so I thought I would give everybody a heads up.
A new book was released about the .Net Micro Framework called, Professional's Guide To .NET Micro Framework Application Development. I picked up a copy on Amazon on the Kindle for a decent price.
It does include examples for the Netduino as well as other .NET Micro Framework devices. I wouldn't call it a beginner's guide, but its not that advanced either. It is based on a training program provided by Annabooks, they provide quite a few example programs to explain each section.
So far, what I've read is pretty good for an intermediate guide. Here are the book details from the Annabooks web site:
Professional's Guide to .NET Micro Framework Application Development
By John R. Malin and Sean D. Liming
The Microsoft .NET Micro Framework brings Microsoft’s embedded expertise to resource-constrained devices, allowing device makers to bring products to market faster and at lower cost. TCP/IP and Web Services for devices functionality makes the .NET Micro Framework a compelling platform for a new generation of smart, connected, service-oriented devices. Its compact footprint (as little as 64 kilobytes) and support for 32-bit embedded processors without an MMU help keep per-device costs low, and a managed driver model makes it easier to develop device drivers. .NET Micro Framework applications are written in C# using either Visual Studio 2010 or Visual® C# Express 2010 Edition.
Professional’s Guide to .NET Micro Framework Application Development provides the most advanced treatment of the .NET Micro Framework SDK available. Over 40 hands-on exercises guide the developer through the tools and APIs available in the .NET Micro Framework SDK. Nineteen chapters cover the basic operation, hardware I/O support, basic networking, graphical interfaces, storage, and the final sample projects to tie the different features together. Example Visual Studio® projects are available for the most popular .NET MF platforms on the market.

It does not look to be available in print, I checked both Amazon and www.annabooks.com. However Amazon does provide a free Kindle E-book Reader for both PC and Mac if that helps at all.

For the price Annabooks is selling it for, You could buy a Kindle reader and all the books for the Netduino and still have money left over.

Has anyone tried EX501? Doesn't matter what I do with thread priorities, doesn't seem to change anything
