does C# not have a generic sqlite engine? you should use that unless you're making an mmo

system.data.sqlite would also be an option yes

VS comes with SQL express but I have server 2014 anyway for other things

so my SQL server is on my host PC. I want to connect to it from my guest VM. I do this with Windows and password auth currently but is there a way to do it with only windows auth and not need a second password without a domain controller on my network? cause I'm not doing that

there is also sql embedded which is basically a db file w/ a library for reading it (no server). i guess that's more like SQLite.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

Entity Framework is the .NET clone of Core Data, I'm pretty sure there's been some equivalent to the SQLite persistent store for standalone app use since the first version.

there's also an actual SQLite backend for it

write procs in your db and call the procs from ur code. EF will let you use them as function imports which works ok but is not great.

entity framework is fine for quick prototyping but lol if you think that prototype won't end up in production

actually I found that to be utterly untrue. I spent more time fighting EF than I would have spent just writing the db stuff myself

Is there any kind of tool I can use to check validity and formatting of my django templates? Normal tools don't cut it as they want to add lots of random tags because of the django template code

oreilly is among the best tech publishers (along with pearson) but they still publish a ton of second-rate poo poo alongside instant classics. that's just how tech publishing works

the oreilly online offering has essentially oreilly and pearson's entire back catalogues so that's fun. if you run across a shitbird text you are out nothing more than the time spent figuring out it sucks

Where does Learning Python by mark lutz fall on the suck spectrum? I'm currently 30% in and while I'm learning a lot (like in-space changes!) it's also very technical and a fair bit goes over my head. It's also spergily in-depth, particularly for a beginner programmer.

It's a really good book that is too in depth to be useful for someone actually learning python for the first time.

ok: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=445708

Nothing like adding a unit test for a bug fix, then having the next release regress the bug because the unit test disappeared?

Edit: Oh I guess Eclipse was looking at a different version of its annotations package. Because of course it ships with multiple versions.

it's a lot easier than I thought it would be once I figured out how to do everything and the certification turnaround time for my updates is about an hour unlike Crapple. problem is nobody uses the win8 store lol. like my brother has used windows 8 for a year and he didn't even know the store existed.

so my next question: if I want to do bar charts and pie charts in WPF or metro, what's a good library I can use? there's a bunch I found and they're all terrible.

:yotj:
My experience doing (.NET) MVC was with knockout.js handling viewModels that I'd throw around myself, and using razor to sometimes generate static things - but mostly AJAX poo poo.

Needless to say, when I come to a "MVC job" and they asked me about tempdata/viewdata I went "I didn't use that, but I'm guessing it's storing the state of the controls on the page?" and I'm told "Yes, but one is view to view the other is controller to controller." I was then passed over.

What's a good primer for "proper MVC" - just get on MSDN and read? I'm down to get a book if someone has one in mind. Or a website. Anyone can just google "interview questions" - I did - but I'd like to really know what they expect. Doing some ko MVVM was some good fun and it just "clicked" to be sure, but not everyone does that. Meh.

Also I've almost talked myself into a relocation to a real market :woop: I might get to Raleigh before the leaves change.

you should've told them only idiots use temp and view data because most websites that aren't poo poo are load balanced and shared state is poo poo
