We use a lot of SQL - of course, but there is no a single line of it in the code. When I want some data I load an entity (not of .NET but using a 2 decade old idea of our own) identifying it by it's name and passing it some parameters. The entity itself was created by a home-made ORM like tool and saved in the database itself...No SQL whatsoever in code!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Being afraid of SQL is a strange exaggeration in my opinion. The only wierd SQL stuff is all the inner and outer etc. joins. They are hard to understand. I feel better working with smaller blocks of code one selection at a time and the narrowing in of the data set. Linq helps us doing that. And after all developers loves Linq mostly.

I do like SQL - There is always very less to do with SQL. The worse part is dealing with ORM and the data access layer.
In SQL on the thing I am scared of is Joins.

Mobile development is on the rise, but for developers, it’s still got a long way to go. Mobile's just a fad: who wants to carry all the world's knowledge and capabilities with them all the time?

Intel will show wearables, robots, and smart electronics and also talk about chips for mobile device, PCs, and servers at its developer forum. Well, not *just* an antiquated tech company

If they want to compete they will need to bring prices down and provide the tools to program them cheap or free to entice developers to come on board. What good is an SD sized SoC if no one uses it?

Today I’d like to share some information about work we are doing to make hardware accelerated 2D graphics APIs available to C# developers. For ADVENTURES in the second dimension
That really needs dramatic music in the background to help it pop.

Quote: Both machines were described as “luggables” and were the size of portable sewing machines. But the Kaypro’s case was rugged metal, in contrast to the Osborne’s plastic shell, and it had a nine-inch cathode ray tube display. It weighed 29 pounds and, like the Osborne I, sold for $1,795.
My boss insisted I take one of these on a business trip to Mexico in mid-80s, all I could think of was where can I ditch this thing and would I have to pay for it if it came up missing. It was an amazing machine but it was so heavy.

Only a geek would think 29 lbs is heavy.

Try lugging it through 2 air ports, having the stewardess stow it, etc.. It was just a PITA. It wouldn't have been so bad but I never used it and knew that I wouldn't use it.

Ummm maybe, as I remember it wasn't all that powerful and was DOS based, no windows. Never know people collect and pay for the strangest stuff.
