I think linguistic skills of someone who saws pieces of wood for a living are less relevant than for someone who conjures up high abstract concepts and communicates them to man and…

Precisely! I've been using ORM pattern throughout my career, and have even designed/built one 10 years ago because what was available at the time wasn't gonna cut it functionality-…

If you think you can avoid knowing SQL by using ORM, you don't understand what ORM is and what problem it tries to solve. Namely, what you can't avoid, if building an object-orient…

that biden is a stooge for the entertainment industry is no secret, though i doubt he could've made this happen at a drop of the hat, as the article purports. mpaa chairman chris d…
