Do you test your SQL or SQL generated by your database framework?
There are frameworks like DbUnit that allow you to create real in-memory database and execute real SQL. But its very hard to use(not developer-friendly so to speak), because you need to first prepare test data(and it should not be shared between tests).
P.S. I don't mean mocking database or framework's database methods, but tests that make you 99% sure that your SQL is working even after some hardcore refactoring.

I saw in Disk Usage Analyzer I have 3.13.0-xx for 8 minor versions of the kernel in /lib/modules. Each is around 200MB.
I remember having to go through in Synaptic and remove those old Linux versions before, but hasn't this bug been fixed? Is it just paranoid default setting, that perhaps all of the last half dozen kernels might become unbootable, so it keeps each old one around? Or do I have some developer setting enabled by accident that causes this?
Assuming no experience with version control systems, just local to live web development. I've been dropped in on a few legacy website projects, and want an easier and more robust way to be able to quickly push and revert changes en masse. I'm currently the only developer on these projects, but more may be added in the future and I think it would be beneficial to set up a system that others can use.
There was a time when we had to worry about manually updating desktop applications. Adobe Flash and Reader were full of security holes and didn’t update themselves, for example — but those days are largely behind us. The Windows desktop is the only big software platform that doesn’t automatically update applications, forcing every developer to code their own updater. This isn’t ideal, but developers have now largely stepped up to the plate.

We know there are Web Designers and there are Web Developers, and that they are very different animals altogether (check out our article on the difference between Web Designers and Web Developers), but they both, naturally, have a pride in what they do. A Web Developer derives his or her pride from staying on concept and delivering a website which performs as quickly as it possibly can. It's in the developers interest to make sure the pages s/he develops use as little of the resources available as possible.

In my previous job, we had several cases where schema changes or incorrect developer assumptions in the middle tier or application logic would lead to type mismatches. We would have a stored procedure that returns a BIT column, but then change the procedure to have something like CASE WHEN <condition> THEN 1 ELSE 0 END. In this case SQL Server would return an INT as a catch-all, and if .NET was expecting a boolean, BOOM. Wouldn't it be nice if the application could check the result set of the...(read more)
I´m going for the Java EE 6 Web Services Developer certificat but I´m having a hard time to find som solid study guides and mock exams. I already have the JPA and very soon EJB cert so i´m not new to this stuff but I´v looked at coderanch and other places but all information seems a bit outdated. So any tips for books, mock exams free or not, tutorials or other guides would be very much appreciated.
EDIT: I will of course read all JSR´s needed.

Word on the street is that "gtk-enable-mnemonics" has been deprecated since version 3.10, and I am not at all sure how to get my application to display mnemonics.
They will only display if I press the alt key.

If you are an ASP.NET developer you may notice from your day-to-day job in developing websites that there is some functionality that you need in order to complete specific website tasks. For example you may need to know the IP address of a specific visitor or the browser they re using or even where they re coming from. These questions can be answered by knowing how to use Server Variables in ASP.NET 3.5....

A .NET software component is a compiled set of classes that provide a programmable interface that is used by consumer applications for a service. As a component is no more than a logical grouping of classes, what then is the best way to define the boundaries of a component within the .NET framework? How should the classes inter-operate? Patrick Smacchia, the lead developer of NDepend, discusses the issues and comes up with a solution.
<b>Stop:</b> "The project to deliver One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) for educational purpose in developing countries is doing great in Paraguay.

I'm trying to get a job as a web developer, but the great majority of jobs offers requires previous experience and a portfolio to prove you've got the required skills. Unfortunately I don't have any real experience or anything to show.
The best way to learn is to try and tackle real world problems, so I'd like to know what would be some nice projects to learn stuff and that will look good in a portfolio?
<b>Linux User and Developer:</b> "The two fundamental concepts in a Linux operating system are processes and time slice. A process is an instance of a program that is being executed by the computer’s operating system."
I'm wondering if there are any un-biased resources that give good, specific overviews of programming languages and their intended goals. I would like to learn a new language, but visiting the sites of each language isn't working. Each one talks about how great it is without much mention of it's weaknesses or specific goals.
Ruby is a dynamic, open source
programming language with a focus on
simplicity and productivity.
Python is a programming language that
lets you work more quickly and
integrate your systems more
effectively.
Having been a PHP developer for years, Vic Cherubini sums up my plight well:
I knew PHP well, had my own framework,
and could work quickly to get
something up and running.
I programmed like this throughout the
MVC revolution. I got better and
better jobs (read: better paying,
better title) as a PHP developer, but
all along the way realizing that the
code I wrote on my own time was great,
and the code I worked with at work was
horrible. Like, worse than horrible.
Atrocious. OS Commerce level bad.
Having side projects kept me sane,
because the code I worked with at work
made me miserable.
This is why I'm retiring from PHP for
my side projects and new programming
ventures. I'm spent with PHP.
Exhausted, if you will. I've reached a
level where I think I'm at the top
with it as a language and if I don't
move on to a new language soon, I'll
be done completely with programming
and I do not want that.
Languages I've looked at include JavaScript (for node.js), Ruby, Python, & Erlang. I've even thought about Scala or C++.
The problem is figuring out which ones are built to handle my needs the best.
So where can I go to skip the hype and get real information about the maturity of a platform, the size of the community, and the strengths & weaknesses of that language. If I know these then picking a language to continue my web development should be easy.
I'm a developer first and foremost. I write web apps but have a hard time generating traffic and converting potential users once I've released my product into the wild. I know I need to learn more about marketing but I don't know where to start as I've no baseline to judge the quality of the materials I stumble across.
Does anyone know any websites, blogs, e-books or other resources for learning how to market effectively?
