   Enterprise applications typically need a data store that offers multiple connections, transactions and atomicity. Even for very simple apps though I like using a DB to store data, and then text files for import/export to other programs

   Interesting - red got blue and green into a corner, had time to gobble them up for itself, and then went on to defeat black!

   Use a "NoSQL" database when you have very large amounts of data (so you need 1000s of separate disks) or large volumes of queries (so you need a 1000s of separate servers). Otherwise MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle etc. is probably fine

   Hmm. You are not thinking in business terms. You run a software house: do you want your developers reinventing data storage on each application? Or using a fairly decent data storage that is RDBMS. Most of the time RDBMS is a very good choi

   I thought it would be a .NET assembly for manipulating XML.

   That ain't a whole lot better. But if you are only doing very simple stuff that you could do quite simply in XSLT anyway then it is probably fine. Although XSLT may be preferable anyway due to tooling support.

    Yes anyone else reading this who consumes any caffeine. Seriously ... give it up. Completely. It is a drug. I did it and I now sleep better, need less sleep, feel more awake in the morning, and save money. This is one of the best 'life

    Start a hacker bootcamp in a low-cost country, e.g. India, Philippines. Hackers pay a reasonable fee ($10k I imagine, or less) for a year of accommodation, cooked meals and other basic luxuries. And fast internet access. They being their ow

    What is the point of this? I don't see a situation where this would be a better choice over: (1) XSLT (2) Regular programming language e.g. Java / .NET and use the XML libraries to build the document. Also with the navigation e.g.
