Beginning PHP Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2011 Jul/Aug Release Date: Sunday, July 03, 2011 Quick ID: 1108041 So, you’re considering using PHP for a project, but aren’t sure where to start, or maybe even why you should use it? Perhaps you’ve heard all the horror stories about PHP being spaghetti code, bad for your health or that it’ll run slow as molasses. Don’t believe them! It’s not as bad as you think, and with the right approach, can be quite fun (and productive). Honest! Don’t believe me? Read on... Heard on .NET Rocks! Axum!

ThoughtWorking: Why The Next Five Years Will Be About Languages Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2009 Mar/Apr Release Date: Friday, February 27, 2009 Quick ID: 0903131 Writing software is hard, particularly when the tools you use force you to think at too low a level; it’s time to start thinking about changing the way you write code… by making it easier to write code.Back in the days of our fathers, programming meant focusing on learning one language, one platform, and one environment, and mastering it over a span of years. Those years are long behind us, along with half-decade project development times and bell-bottomed pants. It’s time to take a hard look at the “state of the union”, per se, and see how you can think about how to work better, rather than just putting in more time. Languages Re-Unleashed Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Sep/Oct Release Date: Friday, August 22, 2008 Quick ID: 0809011 Sept/Oct 08 Editorial by Rod Paddock Polyglot Programming: Building Solutions by Composing Languages Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Sep/Oct Release Date: Friday, August 22, 2008 Quick ID: 0809041 Polyglot programming refers to leveraging existing platforms by solving problems via solutions that compose special purpose languages.This concept leverages the multi-language nature of the CLR to create simpler solutions to vexing problems. This article delves into the motivation, benefits, and challenges of writing applications in this style. Ruby Comes to the .NET Platform Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 Sep/Oct Release Date: Friday, August 22, 2008 Quick ID: 0809061 Microsoft’s IronRuby project brings a powerful and fun dynamic language to the Windows platform.

SharePoint Applied: CAML, Your New Pet Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2008 May/Jun Release Date: Friday, April 18, 2008 Quick ID: 0805031 SharePoint is a very powerful platform. It gives you a very easy-to-setup place to put your data in.And you know what happens when you have a tool like SharePoint? People use it! And then when people have been putting in data, they want to retrieve it, in all sorts of weird ways. Putting in data is only half the story, and I’d argue the easier part. It is fetching the data in a meaningful and targeted manner that separates the wheat from chaff.

Creating a Statusbar Control with VFP 8 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301122 Visual FoxPro 8 offers many new features and opportunities to make life easier.In this article Rick describes how to build a native VFP-based status bar that fixes some of the problems found in the Windows Common Control OCX version (MSCOMCTL.OCX) that ships with VFP and other development tools.

VFP 8: A Great Tool For Data-Centric Solutions Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301012 Eric Rudder talks about VFP 8. VFP 8: Visual FoxPro's Biggest Update Since Version 3.0 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301022 Ken Levy discusses VFP8. VFP 8 Feature Highlights Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301032 Visual FoxPro 8 includes numerous new features that are a direct response to the requests of VFP developers.Just reading through the "What's New" section of the documentation will take you quite a while due to large quantity of additional or changed features and commands. Let's take a brief look at just a few of the exciting new capabilities that you can put to use immediately. Collections are Cool! Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301042 Collections are a common way to store multiple instances of things.For example, a TreeView control has a Nodes collection and Microsoft Word has a Documents collection. Until recently, Visual FoxPro developers wanting to use collections often created their own classes that were nothing more than fancy wrappers for arrays. However, in addition to being a lot of code to write, home-built collections don't support the FOR EACH syntax, which is especially awkward when they're exposed in COM servers. Visual FoxPro 8.0 solves this problem by providing a true Collection base class. Event Binding in VFP 8 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301052 Visual FoxPro developers have been using an event-based methodology for a very long time.For most purposes, events are what drive the development effort. The user clicks a button, causing an event to fire, and the developer writes code to react accordingly. All of this happens very transparently and without difficulty for either party. However, from a developer's point of view, there also isn't much flexibility in this approach. But in VFP 8, event handling is changing for the better. Introducing the CursorAdapter Class Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301062 One of the most exciting new features of Visual FoxPro 8 is the CursorAdapter class, which provides a common interface for working with data from many different sources.Chuck takes you with him on an adventure in exploring how to use CursorAdapter to change the way you relate to data in VFP 8, whether native tables, ODBC, OLE DB, or XML. Structured Error Handling in VFP 8 Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301072 With the introduction of Visual FoxPro 3.0, error handling in VFP changed substantially.Rather than using "on error" statements, "state of the art" error events became available. Now, 7 years later, more sophisticated error handling mechanisms take center stage as Visual FoxPro 8.0 introduces structured error handling. Member Classes Bring Flexibility Magazine/Issue: CoDe Focus Magazine, 2003 - Vol. 1 - Issue 1 - Visual FoxPro 8.0 Release Date: Sunday, June 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0301082 The new VFP 8 feature often referred to as "Member Classes" is a set of new properties and new ways to define classes that can bring much more flexibility when working with certain controls.Need to define several pages in a pageframe with different properties and settings? No problem. How about better control of grid column headers? No problem.The new VFP 8 feature often referred to as "Member Classes" is a set of new properties and new ways to define classes that can bring much more flexibility when working with certain controls.Need to define several pages in a pageframe with different properties and settings?

Getting Started With Regular Expressions Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - May/June Release Date: Thursday, May 01, 2003 Quick ID: 0305041 Regular expressions, also referred to as "regex" in the developer community, is an extremely powerful tool used in pattern matching and substitution.In this article, Jim will introduce you to regular expressions, what they are, why you would want to use them, and finally, how you can begin putting them to work in Visual Studio .NET. XQuery, the Query Language of the Future Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - May/June Release Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 Quick ID: 0305091 XQuery will likely become the dominant language for querying data from most data sources.Although designed for querying XML data, you can use XQuery to tie together data from multiple data sources. In that respect it is much more powerful than SQL, which will slowly but surely be replaced as the main query language.
