Argh!
DBA types are not to be trusted. They're all out to get me.
To be fair SSIS does help in "visualising" imports and the like. But I still feel like I'm more comfortable in code. My SSIS jobs usually just end up being a way of sequencing ExecuteSQL tasks:rolleyes:
I am currently in the process of updating my website.
I have moved to a hosting website that is still free but does not show any ads.
If you want, you can take a peek: http://vbtutorial.byethost32.com/
I only have up to the ternary if lesson finished.
Uhhh...what's the revenue model for that one?Quote:

I just remember thinking, "OK, put your ankles together, your elbows under your shoulders, and prop yourself up. Let's see how long you'd plank then."

Constantly.
I have finished updating my new VB.NET tutorial website! Please check if out, the link is in my signature.
I like the breezy style.
There are a few typos and grammer errors though.
Also in the last lesson you have subtraction listed in your example 9 ^ 10.
In your opening statement in home.
Visual Basic .NET, also know as VB.Net is a language that was developed by Microsoft in 2002. VB.Net is an object oriented programming language that gives programmers that ability to rapidly write efficient programs that compiler on the Windows operating system. VB.Net address some of the issues that its predecessor, Visual Basic, had in regards to a true object oriented programming paradigm.
I think you meant. 'The' and 'compiles'. :)
Good catch!
Same paragraph
...VB.Net address some of the issues that its predecessor, Visual Basic...
Should be 'addresses'.
I have actually changed the home page.
Much clearer.
One one thing popped out at me.
...My goals is to instill solid programming principles...
Should either be 'My goal is' or 'My goals are'.
(I would think the former.)
You need to add a <title></title> attribute in your <head></head> to give your page a title. Right now it just shows the domain name.

I get confused with this sort of thing.
He did play on one of my favorite movies ever, SLC Punk!
I am thinking about making my own programming language syntax to replace HTML and CSS.
My idea would be to create a more Visual Basic .NET/C# style syntax, let JQuery read the file, and then let JQuery create the DOM elements along with their styling.
Something like this:
Code:var nav = New Navigation
Set nav {
.Direction = Direction.HorizontalCenter
.Items.Add({New Anchor Set {.Text = "Home", .Href = "index.html"}, New Anchor Set {.Text = "Products", .Href = "products.html"}, New Anchor Set {.Text = "About", .Href = "about.html"}})
.BackColor = Color.FromHex("#666")
.ForeColor = Color.FromName("White")
}
Document.Items.Add(nav)
var p = New Paragraph
p.Text = "Hello world!"
var main = New Main
main.Items.Add(p)
Document.Items.Add(main)
That's kind of serious for Post Race.
Isn't that kind of what WPF is?Quote:

Technically, you can do that anyways.
The bigger problem is what to do when JS isn't supported. Websites are generally designed to fail in somewhat graceful fashion, though a graceful fashion is becoming less fasionable as the fashion fascists fade from the scene. Still, sites are supposed to be at least semi-useable without JS enabled in a browser.
Right now, you could do that with JQuery, but you'd have to have one minimal piece of HTML with the document tags and probably a single span element with something like "This site is meaningless without JavaScript enabled."
That is a good point, there should be a property in the Document like this:
Code:Document.JavaScriptError = "This document is meaningless without JavaScript enabled."
You could just make that the default HTML that shows if the initial JS function to hide it fails.
I've only got one site that is really public facing - I wonder how ugly it is with JS disabled...
Yuk :(
omg gross!
lol jk my bff jill
Title.....
I have one that is almost entirely driven by JS. If that fails for any reason, the whole thing is a mess, because everything gets written at once. Normally, the JS hides most of the elements and only shows them on demand. Without JS, they ALL show.

And so the alarm clock thought... "Wheels within wheels.". "I unwind therefore I am."
I haven't used an alarm clock in about a year. If my clock could talk, it would be ticked.
Thanks for chiming in. ;)
Were you alarmed?
