SQL Prompt - your fantasy SQL Server secretary
==============================================
Imagine someone who will fetch and carry every bit of code,
stretch of syntax, object name or custom snippet for you, faster than
you can THINK, let alone FIND in your humongous customer database.
Imagine this super-agile person will then write the code for you,
sweetly laid out, and supply any aliases or JOIN statements you need.
Even better, you can configure this perfect helper to behave EXACTLY
the way you want them to, down to the millisecond! Then imagine how
your T-SQL scripting might benefit.
SQL Prompt is an add-in to SSMS and Query Analyzer and costs $195.

Here is a list of some of the latest articles that have been added
to the site:
- Precise .NET Server Content Caching
- -----------------------------------
- Caching in .NET allows you to maintain high-performance pages and
- scalable applications. Simple Page output caching for just three seconds
- can dramatically boost page speed. NET is already up to 3x faster
- than legacy ASP.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A10473
- PRB: Session Variables Are Lost When ASP Is Located in Frameset

- Practical XML with Linux

- In March, I wrote an article (see "There is more to XML than roll-your-own
- HTML," link below) about the Extensible Markup Language and its affinity
- to Linux and the Linux way of doing things.

- 2000.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A2052
- Practical python, xml and dom
- -----------------------------
- This page is aimed at programmers that want to manipulate xml using
- python. I'm thinking of small scripts that you need during automated
- builds (xml config files for j2ee, perhaps) and I'm assuming that
- you're already a decent programmer, used to reading code and specs
- (and, of course, that you're already familiar with python and xml).
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A16351
- Practical Linux security
- ------------------------
- Security is a big, challenging topic, but everyone with server-side
- responsibilities should know the basic steps. Cameron outlines a
- number of ways to keep your user accounts clean and safe.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A7263
- Practical data binding: Get your feet wet in the real world
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- Data binding, although commonplace in today's world of Java technology
- and XML programming, is still largely misunderstood. This column throws
- out all the theoretical claptrap and focuses on the concepts you need
- to get started with data binding. You will understand the differences
- between general data binding and data binding in the XML world, as
- well as round-tripping, semantic equivalence, and what to look for
- in a data binding package.

- Practical CSS Layout Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

- you will continue to discover, and share, new tips, tricks and techniques
- with others.

- PowerPC development from the bargain basement
- ---------------------------------------------

- PowerPC computer, for US$160 -- when other PowerPC development
- boards often cost ten times as much.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A12651
- PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide
- -------------------------------
- This book describes, mainly by coding examples, the code patterns
- that perform well on PowerPC processors. The book will be particularly
- helpful to compiler developers and application-code specialists who
- are already familiar with optimizing compiler technology and are looking
- for ways to exploit the PowerPC architecture.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A7124
- PowerPC Assembly
- ----------------
- Assembly language is not widely known among the programming community
- these days, and PowerPC assembly is even more exotic. This article
- presents an overview of assembly language from a PowerPC perspective
- and contrasts examples for three architectures: ia32, ppc, and ppc64.
- http://www.programmersheaven.com/d/click.aspx?ID=A12818
- PowerPC Architecture Book, Version 2.02
- ---------------------------------------
- This 3 volume set, Version 2.02, defines the instruction and registers
- used by application programs, the storage models, privileged facilities,
- and related instructions for the POWER5 processor family.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
======================================================================
Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008
==============================================
ISBN:1590597893 Published: 19 November, 2007
Author: Joseph C. Rattz
Literally, this book starts with code and ends with code. In most books,
the author shows the simplest example demonstrating how to use a method,
but they so rarely show how to use the more complex prototypes.
Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 is different. Demonstrating
the overwhelming majority of LINQ operators and protoypes, it is a veritable
treasury of LINQ examples.
