• I've been making a start on this one.

    It seems like the PARSE function hasn't rececived a lot of love in the blogosphere, can't find a single article going into any depth about why it is useful. I think it would be of benefit to go into some detail on this before introducing the TRY_PARSE, not sure whether that works better as one post or two. Alternatively, I could give TRY_PARSE brief coverage after introducing PARSE, but then refer to the TRY_CONVERT post as it's similar once you understandf PARSE.

    The main disadvantage of making it two posts is that the TRY_PARSE one will be very similar to the TRY_CONVERT post.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks
