Is inheritance an option?

^ Agree on the schema being too simple. You could write a query for the simple schema in the 1st fiddle and it would work, but it would be a nightmare.

You could have another table for just the prerequisite courses. So, for your example: Class | Prerequisite -------+------------- 4 | 1 4 | 3 3 | 1 5 | 2 8 | 6 8 | 5 Assuming that you have a table with each student and the classes that he/she has already...

I always thought that LINQ was part of the framework (whether .NET, mono, or whatever) and not the language itself.

Although I agree with the point about unobtrusive JavaScript, that was a pretty rude response. The OP understands the order that the functions are being called; his/her question was: The answer is that the browser knows when an event is triggered by JavaScript (as opposed to being triggered...

Glad to help.

Are you looking for something like this? select distinct TOP 1000 wtp.ProfileID , wtp.ProfileName , wtp.WRC_ProfileID , wtp.TimeZoneID , wtd.DataSourceID , wtd.DCSID , wtd.Name From wt_profile wtp Inner Join wt_ProfileDataSource On wtp.WRC_ProfileID = wt_ProfileDataSource.ProfileID Inner Join...

This is patently false in almost every conceivable scenario.

Great suggestions so far. We are looking at some things like Pluralsight, developer conferences, etc. As far as developer conferences go, are there any in particular that are highly recommended (especially with a focus on .Net)?

They generally aren't willing to learn a new language for the job, let alone in their spare time. Until I came on in 2011, this was a 100% VB shop. These particular employees STILL haven't learned C#, which is mind-boggling to me. Nor do they have any knowledge of Java, C++, or OOP in general.

One of the issues we are seeing at my current employer (a .Net shop) is that some of the older employees have not stayed up to date with their programming skills. There is a lot of Visual Basic code written as though it was pre-.NET (so VB6- or VBA-style). Likewise, even though our current...

The real question (and I'm surprised that nobody has asked this yet) is: What on earth does this have to do with programming? Why is it in this forum?

It depends on what's important to you. The performance increase won't be much at all, but the power consumption will be less. I didn't find this price to be that great, honestly. I ordered an XFX HD7870 for $135 after rebate, so it's a comparable deal to that. Decent but not "hot" IMO.

PM'ed him. He doesn't. Still looking for AGP video card.

Anyone have an extra AGP video card? Need one for my brother's older computer. PM me. Thanks in advance.
