I’ve been thinking about programming from just one side, the good side till one day while working I found out that programming (or computerizing) *makes people spend less time working and do less effort which will one day make the manager think:” why the hell am I paying them, they are just doing few clicks and hitting keys on a keyboard”. This will make employees get paid less and we the programmers or system developers will get paid the money that decreased from their salary on the other hand ...
So today I got thinking about the strange obsession our media has about "teens". No other subject seems to create as much worry as our "online safety", our "depression", our "anxiety", and so on. And yet, no word on any sort of cause other than "They're teens" "they don't think like adults" "they haven't matured". But still, let's check out the origin of the word "teenager".It first appeared, by most accounts, in the ...
If you are a php programmer, you should be aware of the annoyances brought upon by html. I am not saying html is annoying, but when you combine php and html in the same document, it becomes a head ach. Even if you separate your presentation logic from your business logic and data, your html source code will most likely look like crap. Sure you might spend a few minutes properly indenting your php source, but once that php executes and sends the response to the browser, at the very least, there ...
Microsoft's SQL Server (I use 2000) and Oracle (I use 9i) are two of the best-known commercial databases, so an interesting question becomes, what's the difference? In some ways, not much. In others, a LOT. One of the major differences is the price, Enterprise is $24,999 for SQL Server vs $47,500 for Oracle. However, you have to realize that SQL Server requires a Windows machine to run, so there is still that license to consider. Once ...
Compared with both Oracle and SQL Server, Access is an absolute joke. The reason is because it was never intended to be an enterprise-class database. It was meant to be a support tool as part of the MS Office suite. It provides minor reporting, minor interfacing, and easy database design. It's a database for people who don't know how to use databases.Here's where the problem comes: You are strongly discouraged from running SQL statements in Access (the native interface ...
Here's the first thing to understand: you are never designing a database in isolation. Before you can talk about designing a database, you have to design an application. The application will drive the design of the database, but there will be some impact in the other direction. So, to talk about designing a database, let's look at an example application: A forum.Please be aware, there is nothing ...
Writing tutorials, especially on topics you only feel about 90% on, is a wonderful thing to do. The reason I say this is simple: you will learn as part of the process. As an example, when I initially wrote the fuzzyset implementation, I did it as a template. I quickly realized I was having problems and backed off to the string-based version (following a recommendation in one of my books). I learned something very important: templates are trickier than I gave them credit for. However, ...
