SQL Antipatterns: Avoid Database Programming Pitfalls

Applications that store data often end up using SQL, either directly or through a mapping layer. Well, here's a sad secret—most developers aren't SQL experts, and most of the SQL that gets used is inefficient, hard to maintain, and sometimes just plain wrong. Author Bill Karwin has helped thousands of people write better SQL and build stronger relational databases. Now he's sharing his collection of antipatterns—the most common errors he's identified in those thousands of requests for help in his new book.

Intel Solid-State Drives Now Available

Intel Corporation announced that its award-winning Intel® Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are now available in 800 Best Buy stores across the country and on the BestBuy website. SSDs can replace or complement a traditional hard drive in a notebook or desktop PC and deliver noticeably faster computer performance when booting up, opening files and running software applications. With no moving parts, these SSDs deliver greater reliability and consume less power than conventional hard disk drives (HDDs).

During the past decade, HDD speed has only improved 1.3 times, while Intel’s processor speeds have improved more than 200 times*. This has caused a system bottleneck that SSDs can help solve. HDDs use a mechanical arm and spinning platter, which can sometimes result in a hard disk crash. An SSD uses flash memory chips and is 100 percent solid state with no moving parts. This makes an SSD extremely rugged, reliable and energy efficient. The biggest benefit is in performance, where an Intel SSD delivers up to 56 percent improvement in system responsiveness for gamers, multimedia enthusiasts or anyone desiring to get more performance out of their new or existing notebook or desktop computer...

REVIEW: Windows 7: The Missing Manual

I can honestly say that Windows 7 is Microsoft's best version of Windows to date. It provides an excellent PC experience with speed and simplicity, but it also includes plenty of advanced features as well. And unbelievably, more new functionality has been added. As with past versions, Windows includes a comprehensive Help facility, complete with an Internet-supported knowledgebase, but not one piece of printed documentation is included. If you're like me, you like to have an actual printed manual to hold in your hands and leaf through at your leisure. Reading through Help files is boring and tedious, unless you're looking for a very specific topic. I like to have an actual book that I can read from cover to cover and then later refer to as a reference. Windows 7: The Missing Manual by David Pogue aims to fill that need.

REVIEW: Zen and the Magic of Photography (Book)

In order to become a great photographer, you must learn all about the technical aspects of the art. This is especially true today with all of the advanced equipment that we have available. You need to know about topics ranging from f-stops and filters to digital image sensors and the EXIF file format. However, photography is not about technology... it's about capturing the image of that unique moment when everything converges to create the perfect picture. But how does the photographer know when that moment occurs? Is it something that only those with an innate talent can understand? Or is this knowledge something tangible that can be explained and that anyone can learn? Zen and the Magic of Photography by Wayne Rowe attempts to provide an explanation.

Published by Rocky Nook, Zen and the Magic of Photography is a book that teaches you how to recognize that perfect photographic moment that's begging to be captured. As explained by the publisher, the book "is geared toward helping photographers develop their visual awareness, sensitivity, and intuition. It is designed to improve the quality of your photography by helping you discover, create, and the capture the points of intersection and merging between camera and 'real moments'... the points at which we discover and create our best photographic images."

Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop

Despite being one of the most frustrating areas of a house to clean, brilliant floors give consumers more satisfaction than any other surface in the home1. Yet, current floor cleaning options either require lots of work or expensive refills. With this in mind, Rubbermaid® introduces the new Rubbermaid Reveal™ microfiber spray mop to enable consumers to get great looking floors, minus the expense of replacement pads, refill cleaning solutions and batteries required by the leading spray mop cleaning system.
