 | From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor Dear Subscriber,
Welcome to this week's edition of your About Programming Newsletter. This week we are looking at backup compression in SQL server 2012. Next we look at things to keep in mind if you are working on international websites. We then look at build configurations in VB.NET, and finally look at what happened to _why? Have a great week! | |
Backup Compression in SQL Server 2012
Administrators may wish to take advantage of SQL Server's backup compression capabilities. This feature, only available in the Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2008, is now available to Standard Edition users in SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012. Backup compression technology uses mathematical algorithms to shrink the size of database backups.
| Don't Forget the Dates on International Pages
When writing web pages for an audience beyond the country where you live and work, it can be easy to forget that they don't do things exactly how you might in your country. Sure, you will remember to change the language and use special character codes, but there are other things you should do to make your pages understandable to an international audience.
| Build Configurations in VB.NET
Microsoft uses the word build to describe "that stage in the development of computer software in which two or more independently developed software components are linked so that they can be tested in conjunction with one another." (Bing dictionary) W-a-a-y back when I programmed mainframe computers, IBM referred to it as the "linkedit".
| Where's _why?
It's been a long time since Why the lucky stiff (AKA _why) left us in 2009, without a peep from him leaving the entire Ruby community to scramble and wonder why someone so great and who gave us so much great stuff (Hpricot, Hackety Hack, Shoes, Camping, Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby, Try Ruby, and the list goes on) would leave so suddenly.
