Amid the debate about which is better and have more future (two things that not necessarily go together) between LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework, one thing they have in common is the fact that Oracle is in “no comment” mode about both of them. It’s like Oracle would be expecting that the lack of its “official” provider for Entity Framework, let alone LINQ to SQL, would somehow move people to develop in Java instead of .NET Framework. IMHO, Visual Studio 2008 is so productive that people may first consider moving from Oracle to SQL Server before moving from VS 2008 to JDeveloper.

Which is the ten thousand first prime?
Prime numbers have a good deal of practical applications (for example in cryptography) but let's face it, even if they would have none, they would still be the favorite toy of mathematicians. In Problem 7 of Project Euler, we are asked to find the 10001st element of the famous list, my approach was this:
-
Finding the largest prime factor of a number
This is another classic problem at Project Euler that can be solved with the old trick of top down programming, like so:
-
Project Euler and infinite sequences in C#
The second problem at Project Euler proposes:
-

Related to my post yesterday in which I tried to show an appealing business sample in F#, David Taylor commented that this:
