• I suspect the fundamental skill of logically analyzing a problem and coming up with a set of steps to solve it is becoming more important all the time.

    It sounds harsh, I know, but I've sure seen a lot of folks in the business of writing programs (whether it be front end or back end code) that apparently haven't gotten that word, yet.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
