SharePoint Apps with LightSwitch

The important thing to point out right from the start is that Visual Studio LightSwitch in its stand-alone version shares much of the same functionality as the full version of Visual Studio. Figure 1-1 shows the opening screen of Visual Studio LightSwitch, which looks just like what you would see if you launched the full version. There are differences, however, in many ways. Visual Studio Light…

Children’s understanding of death

At the time of my last period of fieldwork in Madagascar,1 Brika was seventeen. I had invited him to my house to participate in the study I was conducting about death and the ancestors (cf.

I reassured him that these questions…

My own education as an accountant was aimed at achieving professional recognition and emphasized an uncritical ac…

LINQ

By the time you are holding this book in your hands, I will have 30 years in since the first time I wrote some code. That code was ROM-BASIC on a TRS-80 in Washington grammar school in Owosso, Michigan, and I was in the fifth grade. Making the “tank” slide back and forth shooting blips across the screen was neat. Changing the code to change blip speeds and numbers of targets was exhilaratin…
