SSMS Tools Pack

SSMS Tools Pack is an add-in for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, Denali CTP3 and their respective Express versions.
It contains a few upgrades to the SSMS IDE that I thought were missing.

Programming like making music

This morning, while I was driving to work, a think was made in my mind. In this days I'm learning how to play classic guitar, and I was think: what kind of difference there are between make music and make software?. I think that there is no difference. If you compare music with programming, there are 7 notes (DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA,SI) for making music while in computer programming we are a set of principal statements (IF,LOOPS,TYPES,ASSIGNMENTS)  for making software. If you make music you need a musical instrument (guitar, violin,ecc..) and a sequence of notes (for a predeterminated execution time). If you make software you need a good programming language as instrument (C#,VB.NET,JavaScript,ecc..) and make a sequence (in certain case a very long sequence :-)  ) of statements.

If you think to create software in this way (like music) I think that you can create a very good software in any kind of enviroment and language.

The Daily WTF - Curious Perversions in IT

 

I'm studing for MCPD exam from the training kit book and I get this link on page 227

It's a very funny story and a very funny site.

Function Parameter Constraint

As a developer every day I find myself in situations where I have to write different methods for purposes of any kind.  Generally, I write methods that take into one or more input parameters and return a particular result

Problems arise when my colleagues use the methods that I write. In particular, the biggest problems occur when they are specified in input values that are not valid for the execution of method.

Ok. I know that I can test each parameter before the execution of the real first instruction but it's a very frustration for a developer like me.

I think that can be nicely to have a mode for define at syntax level a constraint for a parameter of a method.

Something like :

<BetweenContraint(i,0,100)> _
Public Function TakeIntegerBetween0And100(ByVal i As Integer)

There is already something like this or I invented the wheel?

I know only looking for on Google or with a comment of some blog reader.
