  • Hilarious web addresses revealed in new book

    <b>Telegraph:</b> "The compendium of ill thought out web addresses, largely from companies who naively slurred their innocent-sounding names into a single word without noticing the resulting double entendres, lists more than 150 "slurls", or slur URLs."

  • SQLAuthority News – SQL Server Wait Stats – eBook to Download on Kindle – Answer to FREE PDF Download Request

    - by pinaldave
    Being a book author is a completely new experience for me. I am yet to come across the issues faced by expert book authors. I assume that these interesting issues can be routine ones for expert book authors. One of the biggest requests I am getting for my SQL Server Wait Stats [Amazon] | [Flipkart] | [Kindle] book is my humble attempt to write a book. This is our very first experiment, and the book is beginning of the subject of SQL Server Wait Stats; we will come up with a new version of the book later next year when we have enough information for the SQL Server 2012 version. Following are the top 2 requests that I keep on receiving in emails, on blogs, Twitter, and Facebook. “Please send us FREE PDF of your book so we do not have to purchase it.” “If you can share with us the eBook (free and downloadable) format of your book, we will share it with everybody we know and you will get additional exposure.” Here is my response for the abovementioned requests: If you really need my book and cannot purchase it due to financial trouble, then feel free to let me know and I will purchase it myself and ship it to you. If you are in a country where the print book not available, then you can buy the Kindle book, which is available online in any country, and you can just read it on your computer and mobile devices. You DO NOT have to own a Kindle to read a Kindle format book. You can freely download Kindle software on your desired format and purchase the book online. For next 5 days, the kindle book is available at 3.99 in USA, and in other countries, the price is anywhere between 3.99 and 5.99. The price will go up by USD 2 everywhere across the world after 1st November, 2011. Here is the link to download Kindle Software for free PC, WP7, and in marketplace for various other mobile devices. I thank you for giving warm response to SQL Server Wait Stats book. I am motivated to write the next expanded version of this book.

  • Funny statements, quotes, phrases, errors found on technical Books [closed]

    - by Felipe Fiali
    I found some funny or redundant statements on technical books I've read, I'd like to share. And I mean good, serious, technical books. Ok so starting it all: The .NET framework doesn't support teleportation From MCTS 70-536 Training kit book - .NET Framework 2.0 Application Development Foundation Teleportation in science fiction is a good example of serialization (though teleportation is not currently supported byt the .NET Framework). C# 3 is sexy From Jon Skeet's C# in Depth second Edition You may be itching to get on to the sexy stuff from C# 3 by this point, and I don’t blame you. Instantiating a class From Introduction to development II in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 To instantiate a class, is to create a new instance of it. Continue or break From Introduction to development II in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Continue and break commands are used within all three loops to tell the execution to break or continue. These are just a few. I'll post some more later. Share some that you might have found too.

  • Arraylist is null; I cannot access books in the arraylist

    - by user3701380
    I am a beginner-intermediate java programmer and I am getting a null pointer exception from my arraylist. I am writing a bookstore program for APCS and when i add the book, it is supposed to add to the arraylist in the inventory class. But when i call a method to search for a book (e.g. by title), it shows that there isn't anything in the arraylist. //Here is my inventory class -- it has all methods for adding the book or searching for one The searching methods are in getBookByTitle, getBookByAuthor, and getBookByISBN and the method for adding a book is addBook package webbazonab; //Inventory Class //Bharath Senthil //Ansh Sikka import java.util.ArrayList; public class Inventory{ private ArrayList<Book> allBooks = new ArrayList<Book>(); private String bookTitles; private String bookAuthors; private String bookPrices; private String bookCopies; private String ISBNs; public Inventory() { } //@param double price, int copies, String bookTitle, String Author, String isbnNumber public void addBooks(Book addedBook){ allBooks.add(addedBook); } public boolean isAvailable(){ for(Book myBook : allBooks){ if(myBook.copiesLeft() == 0) return false; } return true; } public String populateTitle(){ for (Book titleBooks : allBooks){ bookTitles = titleBooks.getTitle() + "\n"; return bookTitles; } return bookTitles; } public String populateAuthor(){ for(Book authorBooks : allBooks){ bookAuthors = authorBooks.getAuthor() + "\n"; return bookAuthors; } return bookAuthors; } public String populatePrice(){ for (Book pricedBooks : allBooks){ bookPrices = String.valueOf(pricedBooks.getPrice()) + "\n"; } return "$" + bookPrices; } /** * * @return */ public String populateCopies(){ for (Book amtBooks : allBooks){ bookCopies = String.valueOf(amtBooks.copiesLeft()) + "\n"; return bookCopies; } return bookCopies; } public String populateISBN(){ for (Book isbnNums : allBooks){ ISBNs = isbnNums.getIsbn() + "\n"; return ISBNs; } return ISBNs; } @SuppressWarnings("empty-statement") public Book getBookByTitle(String titleSearch) { for(Book titleBook : allBooks) { if (titleBook.getTitle().equals(titleSearch)) { return titleBook; } } return null; } public Book getBookByISBN(String isbnSearch){ for(Book isbnBookSearches : allBooks){ if(isbnBookSearches.getIsbn().equals(isbnSearch)){ return isbnBookSearches; } } return null; } public Book getBookByAuthor(String authorSearch){ for(Book authorBookSearches : allBooks){ if(authorBookSearches.getAuthor().equals(authorSearch)){ return authorBookSearches; } } return null; } public void sort(){ for(int i = 0; i < allBooks.size(); i++) { for(int k = 0; k < allBooks.size(); k++) { if(((Book) allBooks.get(i)).getIsbn().compareTo(((Book) allBooks.get(k)).getIsbn()) < 1) { Book temp = (Book) allBooks.get(k); allBooks.set(k, allBooks.get(i)); allBooks.set(i, temp); } else if(((Book) allBooks.get(i)).getIsbn().compareTo(((Book) allBooks.get(k)).getIsbn()) > 1) { Book temp = (Book) allBooks.get(i); allBooks.set(i, allBooks.get(k)); allBooks.set(k, temp); } } } } public ArrayList<Book> getBooks(){ return allBooks; } } //The exception occurs when i call the method here (in another class): Inventory lib = new Inventory(); jTextField12.setText(lib.getBookByAuthor(authorSearch).getTitle()); Here is my book class if you need it package webbazonab; //Webbazon AB //Project By: Ansh Sikka and Bharath Senthil public class Book { private double myPrice; private String myTitle; private String bookAuthor; private String isbn; private int myCopies; public Book(double price, int copies, String bookTitle, String Author, String isbnNumber) { myPrice = price; myCopies = copies; myTitle = bookTitle; bookAuthor = Author; isbn = isbnNumber; } public double getPrice() { return myPrice; } public String getIsbn() { return isbn; } public String getTitle() { return myTitle; } public String getAuthor() { return bookAuthor; } public int copiesLeft(){ return myCopies; } public String notFound(){ return "The book you searched for could not be found!"; } public String toString() { return "Title: " + getTitle() + "\nAuthor: " + getAuthor() + "\nNumber of Available Books: " + copiesLeft() + "\nPrice: $" + getPrice(); } } Thanks!

  • SQL SERVER – Attach or Detach Database – SQL in Sixty Seconds #068

    - by Pinal Dave
    When we have to move a database from one server to another server or when we have to move a database from one file to another file, we commonly use Database Attach or Detach process. I have been doing this for quite a while as well. Recently, when I was visiting an organization I found that in this organization lots of developers are still using an older version of the code to attach the database. I quickly pointed that out to them the new method to attach the database, however it was really interesting to find out that they really did not know that sp_attach_db is now a deprecated method to attach the database. This really made me to do today’s SQL in Sixty Seconds. I demonstrate in this SQL in Sixty Seconds how to attach or detach the database using a new method of attaching database. The code which I have used in this code is over here: -- Detach Database USE [master] GO EXEC MASTER.dbo.sp_detach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks2014_new' GO -- Deprecated Way to Attach Database USE [master] GO EXEC MASTER.dbo.sp_attach_db 'AdventureWorks2014_new', 'E:\AdventureWorks2012_Data_new.mdf', 'E:\AdventureWorks2012_log_new.ldf' GO -- Correct Way to Attach Database USE [master] GO CREATE DATABASE [AdventureWorks2014_new] ON ( FILENAME = 'E:\AdventureWorks2012_Data_new.mdf'), ( FILENAME = 'E:\AdventureWorks2012_log_new.ldf') FOR ATTACH GO Here is the question back to you – Do you still use old methods to attach database? If yes, I suggest that you start using the new method onwards. SQL in Sixty Seconds Video I have attempted to explain the same subject in simple words over in following video. Action Item Here are the blog posts I have previously written on the subject of SA password. You can read it over here: SQL SERVER – 2005 – T-SQL Script to Attach and Detach Database SQL SERVER – Move Database Files MDF and LDF to Another Location SQL SERVER – 2005 Take Off Line or Detach Database SQL SERVER – Attach mdf file without ldf file in Database SQL SERVER – Copy Database from Instance to Another Instance – Copy Paste in SQL Server You can subscribe to my YouTube Channel for frequent updates.

  • The art of Unit Testing with Examples in .NET

    - by outcoldman
    First time when I familiarized with unit testing was 5 or 6 years ago. It was start of my developing career. I remember that somebody told me about code coverage. At that time I didn’t write any Unit tests. Guy, who was my team lead, told me “Do you see operator if with three conditions? You should check all of these conditions”. So, after that I had written some code, I should go to interface and try to invoke all code which I wrote from user interface. Nice? At current time I know little more about tests and unit testing. I have not participated in projects, designed by Test Driven Development (TDD). Basics of my knowledge are a spying code of my colleagues, some articles and screencasts. I had decide that I should know much more, and became a real professional of unit testing, this is why I had start to read book The art of Unit Testing with Examples in .NET. More than, in my current job place looks like I’m just one who writing unit tests for my code. I should show good examples of my tests. ,a href="http://outcoldman.ru/en/blog/show/267"Read more...

  • SQL SERVER – Reset SA Password – SQL in Sixty Seconds #066

    - by Pinal Dave
    It has been quite a long time since I posted SQL in Sixty Seconds Video. Here we are back with the new video. One of the most popular question, I often receive is very similar to following: “How do I reset the password for SA username?” “I have forgotten the SA password, what should I do?” “Our DBA just left the job and now noone knows how to reset the SA password. Please help.” Solution Honestly, it is pretty simple to reset the password for SA username. You just have to login to the system where your SQL Server is installed. Open SQL Server Management Studio and login with the help of Windows Authentication. As local system is the admin of the SQL Server, you will get access with administration privileges. Now, open the database, expand Security >> Login folder and right click over SA username. Now, it will bring up the screen where you can change the password for SA. SQL in Sixty Seconds Video I have attempted to explain the same subject in simple words over in following video. Action Item Here are the blog posts I have previously written on the subject of SA password. You can read it over here:  SQL SERVER – Forgot the Password of Username SA Change Password of SA Login Using Management Studio You can subscribe to my YouTube Channel for frequent updates.

  • SQL SERVER – Copy Database – SQL in Sixty Seconds #067

    - by Pinal Dave
    There are multiple reasons why a user may want to make a copy of the database. Sometimes a user wants to copy the database to the same server and sometime wants to copy the database on a different server. The important point is that DBA and Developer may want copies of their database for various purposes. I copy my database for backup purpose. However, when we hear coping database – the very first thought which comes to our mind is – Backup and Restore or Attach and Detach. Both of these processes have their own advantage and disadvantages. The matter of the fact, those methods is much efficient and recommended methods. However, if you just want to copy your database as it is and do not want to go for advanced feature. You can just use the copy feature of the SQL Server. Here are the settings, which you can use to copy the database. SQL in Sixty Seconds Video I have attempted to explain the same subject in simple words over in following video.

  • "Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#": Is this just a .NET-translation of the popular Uncle Bob book?

    - by Louis Rhys
    I found this book sold on Amazon Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#, written by Robert C Martin and Micah Martin. Is it merely a .NET port of the older, more popular Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices? Or is it just a new book trying to take advantage of the other book's popularity? If I am a .NET developer who hasn't read either book, which one would you recommend?

  • Is there a canonical book on parallel programming with focus on C++ ?

    - by quant_dev
    I am looking for a good book about parallel programming with focus on C++. Something suitable for a person reasonably good in C++ programming, but with no experience in concurrent software development. On the other hand, I'd prefer a practical book, without loads of silly examples about philosophers eating lunch. Is there a book out there that's the de-facto standard for describing best practices, design methodologies, and other helpful information on parallel programming with focus on C++ ? What about that book makes it special?

  • Cannot "add to address book" in thunderbird on mac. Know a workaround?

    - by Arthur
    Runing TB 24.5.0 on Mac 10.8.5. I configure TB so that File-"Use Mac OS X Address Book" is not selected. Can open Address Book and see addresses in "COllected Addresses" & create New contact there. But in TB cannot "add to address book". I click on star to right of email address or ctrl-click correspondent and "add to address book". Nothing happens. But correspondent should be added to (some) address book. This is a major inconvenience because I use the address book to distinguish between junk mail from people who I do not know and good mail from people who I do know. Currently the only way for me to add anybody to the address book is to do so by hand, one at a time in "collected addresses". I welcome any work around that would let me add somebody to an address book with a single click. Thanks

  • Recommend a Semantic Web book?

    - by Logomachist
    I've looked around but most books seem to fall into one of two categories: Either the book talks about SW technologies but doesn't teach you how to use them Or the book is geared for very complex data modeling and ontology creation. Worse, many of those books are outdated. I'm looking for an up-to-date book that teaches technologies like RDF, SPARQL, RDFS, and GDDRL- and frameworks to make use of them. Any recommendations?
