Roger Hart looks back at Red Gate's inclusion of SQL Azure into its database applications, the issues they encountered and the solutions they created

Roger Hart http://www.developerfusion.com/article/122498/using-sqlbulkcopy-for-high-performance-inserts/ 2011-07-19T10:43:00.00Z

In the age of Object Relational Mapping frameworks (ORMs) it seems unusual to ever get 'close to the metal' when it comes to persisting data. However, when you need to squeeze the last ounce of performance out of your app - it can make sense to go under the covers.

Running LINQ queries over databases gets all the limelight, but Jon Skeet reminds us of it's possibilities over object graphs too.

Jon Skeet http://www.developerfusion.com/article/84431/slobbing-about-with-net/ 2010-11-22T12:26:00.00Z

Persisting objects is all about SLOB (serialized large objects), or so says Dave Wheeler who explains how it's now all so much easier.

Dave Wheeler http://www.developerfusion.com/article/84417/rails-mvc-and-routing/ 2010-11-02T11:33:00.00Z

Kevin Jones thinks that the key idea in Rails is routing. See how this fits in with the MVC pattern and find out more about Rails by reading on.

XML, which is all about tree structures, and LINQ, which is all about querying collections, might not seem to fit together, but Mike James explains that they work together just fine.

There is a lot of interest in DDD recently, both in the book, and in the methodology, and in the buzzword. Casey aims to clear up the confusion and start to demystify it.

Casey Charlton http://www.developerfusion.com/article/78919/the-next-generation-of-web-development/ 2009-01-01T00:00:00.00Z

Where is Web Development moving to in the future?

Ever wondered how the magic "yield" statement works? Jon Skeet digs into the inner workings of C# 2.0 and how this innocuous statement gets you a whole load of "free" generated code for your iterators.

Jon Skeet http://www.developerfusion.com/article/8325/spatial-data-in-sql-server-2008/ 2008-10-22T16:11:00.00Z

Jason takes you back to those high school geometry lessons and demonstrates how to take advantage of the new geospatial and geometric data types in SQL Server 2008.
