My wife and I like to play backgammon. Recently we sat in a pub in the UK and wanted to play, but didn’t have the equipment. We figured that it shouldn’t be impossible to improvise a decent backgammon game with materials that are readily available to an average person sitting in a pub. The materials we ended up using were: paper, a pen, the pub menu, and coins. We drew the backgammon board on a sheet of paper, using the pub menu as a substitute for a ruler. As playing pieces we used small pieces of paper with an x symbol for one player and an o symbol for the other. Figure 1 shows the actual backgammon board we used. ...

From Maurice Pelchat, author of the free tool YourSQLDBA, which I profiled in the June 2009 issue of SQL Server Magazine.

We also change the license to a more permissive one, LGPL, which allows a commercial product to build on the tool without the requirement of being itself LGPL. Only...

The DevConnections conference has a little-ballyhooed track called DotNetNuke. I sat down with Joe Brinkman, the VP of Core Technology and co-founder of DotNetNuke to find out more about it. Folks at Penton Media, the parent company of SQL Server and Windows IT Pro magazines and windevpro.com are especially interested in DotNetNuke because they're the developing the next generation website for our publications. I wanted to know more about how DotNetNuke blends its open source platform with the Microsoft .NET stack and how developers can take advantage of hooks in the platform to customize their websites. Check out what...
