If you spend 50% of your time coding, what were you doing with the other 50%? There is more than coding, so I have to say 1...

I'd bring something to take notes. Power can be hard to come by, and unless you are blogging or reporting on it, I think getting notes, and then ensuring you...

Retakes are important, and there should be some time. I think that Novell allowed one retake for free and then you had to wait at least a week or a...

I think the statement that table variables don't participate in transactions is clearer. It implies that they can be exempt from a rollback, which is handy. I worry about marking...
